The BBA Agrement Certificate provides invaluable independent verification of Kingzip's performance and they have been providing authoritative and independent information on the performance of building products for over 35 years.
Every Agrement Certificate contains important data on durability, installation and compliance with Building Regulations, not just in England and Wales, but in Scotland and Northern Ireland, too.

First For Kingspan In Soft Drinks Industry
A soft drinks storage and distribution centre in Bristol has become the first industrial building in the UK to be clad externally with Kingspan Insulated Panel's KS1200CS coldstore composite panels.
The Kingzip system is single, easy-to-handle, weathertight component for fast-track installation.
It is supplied complete with perimeter seals and is available with matching fascias, gutters and flashings.
Significantly the adoption of a standing seam approach supports the quick and easy laying to finished pitches as low as 1.5 degrees, whilst availability of cover widths of 500 to 1000mm means that panels can be readily applied to roofs over 150m in radius.
In addition, Kingzip's secret fixing method eliminates the need to penetrate the external sheet, so maximising weather protection and thermal performance.
For maximum aesthetic appeal, Kingzip external facings are available in a wide range of finishes and colours.
Curved and pitched panels can even be supplied, as well as longer lengths, for unparalleled design flexibility.
The Kingzip system brings together the insulation and condensation minimising performance along with unrivalled weathertight properties of standing seam technology.
It is an attractive package for designers looking for an integrated approach to satisfy increasing roofing demands.
The BBA Agrement Certificates is a powerful endorsement of the system's durability, performance and compliance with all relevant UK Building Regulations.
Kingspan's BBA Certificate number for KS500 and KS1000 Kingzip is 04/4181 www.bbacerts.co.uk.
