Importantly, with a superior U-value performance of 1.64 W/m.K and minimal air permeability this product complies with Part L2 (England and Wales) Building Regulations and Section 6 (Scotland) Technical Handbooks.
Kingspan Wall-Lite is available in two finishes and a range of colours, with UV resistance and a high degree of colour fastening meaning it will not discolour over time.
Precise factory manufacturing ensures excellent integration with other products such as Kingspan's Architectural Wall Panel and Optimo cladding systems, allowing greater design flexibility.
The Kingspan Wall-Lite is a single component system and does not require glazing experience to fit, thereby reducing installation times and the need to rely on skilled sub-contractors.
