Kingspan releases its latest Design Manual
Kingspan Insulation Ltdhas released the latest edition of its Design Manual. This invaluable specification tool provides architects, contractors, stockists and end users with a complete guide, not only to product information, but also to design and construction good practice.
The easy to use format has been updated to provide a thorough catalogue of the extensive range of Kingspan Kooltherm and Therma rigid thermoset insulation products, along with invaluable advice on how these products can help towards compliance with the current Approved Document L.
One of the biggest challenges in the ADL 2010 version is the requirement for a 25% carbon reduction from 2006 levels, and one of the most effective ways to achieve such a dramatic reduction is through a fabric-first approach. The Design Manual provides a guide to the thicknesses needed to achieve the required U-values for ADL 2010, and includes specifications that provide even greater thermal efficiencies.
The Design Manual is available now from the Kingspan Insulation website, as an Interactive PDF which allows for simple navigation, searching and zooming of the Manual. It can be viewed or downloaded at the following web address: http://www.kingspaninsulation.co.uk/designmanual” title=” http://www.kingspaninsulation.co.uk/designmanual”> http://www.kingspaninsulation.co.uk/designmanual
Hard copies of the Design Manual are also available for order. These come in a ring binder with clearly labelled sections that can be easily removed, allowing any updates to the literature to be easily incorporated. As part of their commitment to the environment, Kingspan offers a free recycling service for old copies of the Design Manual.
