Thermal performance and high style – these five words perfectly describe Kingspan’s KS Series line of insulated metal wall panels. These panels provide unique design aesthetics through a wide range of profiles and high R-values that help increase energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.

Thermal performance

Kingspan’s KS Series wall panels incorporate the company’s proprietary QuadCore® Technology, representing the next generation of self-blended hybrid insulation core. One of the most thermally efficient insulation cores on the market, QuadCore ensures R-values that surpass high-quality PIR by 11% and outperform PUR by up to 60%. In a nutshell, KS Series panels deliver exceptional thermal performance.

These high performing KS Series panels feature thicknesses that range from 2”-6” to meet the performance needs of a wide range of applications, while the KS range of interior panels are available in up to 8” thick.

By creating airtight and watertight continuous insulation seals, KS Series panels provide strong thermal barriers to help maintain safe and comfortable indoor environments. The engineered joint creates a tight, well-designed vapor barrier in buildings of any size. All of these KS Series panel features work together to help create thermal efficiency, improve performance, and reduce heating and cooling costs.

When it comes to healthy building performance, KS Series panels are high performers in this area too. These panels are GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which screens for more than 360 volatile organic compounds (VOC) and total chemical emissions to ensure that products are not harmful to building occupants and do not adversely impact indoor environment quality (IEQ).

High style

Kingspan’s KS Series panels add an elevated design element to commercial buildings without having to sacrifice performance or energy efficiency.

KS Series panels can also be customized with trimless ends and pre-formed corners to provide a clean, finished appearance. Adjustable module widths can integrate for distinct architectural flair. For more design options, these panels can be installed horizontally or vertically, and custom colors can be created to match any branding or design aesthetic.  

The KS Series is available in six unique profile options that provide architects and designers with creative freedom. These options include:

  • Azteco™ Embossed
  • Micro-Rib
  • Mini Micro-Rib
  • Mini-Wave 
  • Shadowline 
  • Vektra™
KS Series panels in action

From retail buildings to manufacturing facilities to storage facilities to sports complexes to food processing plants, the thermal performance and high style of KS Series panels make them strong choices for a wide range of commercial and industrial projects.

Here’s a quick look at Kingspan’s KS Series panels in action:

Bluegrass Harley Davidson – The use of KS Mini-Wave insulated metal panels on this project helped create the custom Harley Davidson look, while improving speed-of-build.

Bombardier Global Manufacturing Center – Delivering high R-values, KS Series panels were selected to reduce the facility’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Life Storage – Kingspan’s KS Azteco and KS Mini-Wave panels were used in the construction of this project to give this building an elevated aesthetic look and increase thermal efficiency. KS Azteco panels feature an embossed texture, and KS Mini-Wave panels provide a unique wave appearance.

Sands Family YMCA – Kingspan’s KS Mini Micro-Rib panels were selected for this project to achieve a modern, clean, finished appearance.
