From Local Irish Roots to Global Leader

The Kingspan Group has come a long way since its founding in 1965 in Kingscourt, Co Cavan, Ireland. We have grown largely by acquisition and globalisation remains at the heart of our ongoing evolution. While we retain our heritage and culture as a family business, we’ve grown to be the global leader in high-performance insulation and building envelopes. We help our customers and employees to make a difference in tackling climate change.

Our Mission:
to accelerate a net zero emissions future with the wellbeing of people and planet at its heart.

Advanced Insulation

Products and systems for new build & renovation applications in multiple sectors including insulated panels, insulation boards & technical insulation

All our advanced insulation products - insulated panels, insulation boards and technical insulation - are powered by proprietary Kingspan technology. The class-leading thermal performance of our insulation results in thinner, lighter solutions with significant energy and space savings. Unlike legacy insulation, it doesn’t slump or sag and so retains its performance for its lifetime. Neither is it subject to any health issues associated with airborne fibres or toxic mould. To learn more about our fire testing and circularity initiatives, and the buildspeed and lifetime performance advantages of insulated panel envelopes, explore the advanced insulation solutions at your local Kingspan business.

Through-wall Facades

A comprehensive portfolio of offsite and onsite-assembled through-wall façade solutions from the steel frame structure to the finish

Our through-wall façade systems are suitable for a multitude of performance applications, building heights (including high-rise)and architectural styles. A wide choice of metallic façade finishes are offered including powder coated aluminium and corten, with a range of insulation options to suit all regulatory regimes including our advanced QuadCore insulation technology, alongside more traditional K-Roc mineral fibre solutions. Our aim is to become the global leaders in off-site, through-wall façade systems.

Natural Daylighting, Ventilation and Smoke Management

A wide range of products to bring enhanced wellbeing and sustainability to multiple building types

Indoor air quality and natural daylighting are widely recognised as the two most important factors affecting wellbeing in buildings. Our daylighting products harness more natural light for longer, and include options for minimising solar heat gain. Our natural ventilation products enhance air quality while potentially reducing artificial cooling loads. Our smoke management products aid safe evacuation in the event of a fire. Our products can be supported by sophisticated automation and integration with building management systems. Many of our products contain recycled content and are highly recyclable.

Water and Wastewater Management

Rainwater harvesting, water storage, floodwater management and wastewater solutions for commercial and domestic use

Sustainable water management is rapidly becoming one of the greatest challenges of our time. We manufacture and support pioneering new technologies to preserve and protect water in homes and businesses across the world. Our solutions include Water Management Solutions (including wastewater, surface water and rainwater harvesting) and Energy Management Solutions (including diesel, oil, AdBlue, agri storage, renewables and hot water cylinders). Our innovation focus is utilising the Internet of Things by intelligent monitoring, to provide our customers with enhanced insight and greater control over their water and energy assets.

Raised Access Floors

A wide range of steel encapsulated floor panels, high quality panels laminated with vinyl, HPL, wood, stone or granite, high-end floor finishes and systems offering enhanced acoustic properties

Raised access floors are the most cost effective way of creating a flexible working environment by utilising the floor void to manage the distribution of M&E services and HVAC systems. Kingspan’s raised floor systems have many benefits including optimising overall building height, achieving faster construction with greater design flexibility, and enabling easier reconfiguration of a workspace. When combined with efficient air distribution systems, our access floor solutions provide better indoor air quality and the ability to provide personal comfort controls to individual occupants. The floor systems are underpinned by exceptionally rigorous testing.
