However, manufacturers should not rest on their laurels; it is amatter of social responsibility to be open and honest about theenvironmental impact of the manufacture of a product, and afull Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) based on a much wider basket ofenvironmental impacts, rather than embodied energy alone, isrecognised as the preferred tool to achieve this. KingspanInsulation was the first insulation manufacturer to openlycomplete and publish independently certified Ecoprofiles (a type of LCA) on its product ranges. The Ecoprofile for theKingspan Therma™ range of rigid urethane insulation productswas performed by Building Research Establishment (BRE). The product range comfortably achieves a BRE Green Guide A rating. Kingspan Insulation iscurrently completing a BRE Ecoprofile of itsKingspan Kooltherm® K–range of rigid phenolicinsulation products.

But there is far more to sustainability than whether or not aproduct, process or company affects the environment in apositive or a negative way. A company can, and should,demonstrate its financial viability and social responsibility, aswell as ensure that its materials and methods do not addunduly to the burden placed on the planet.

Kingspan Insulation has now put the manufacture of itsproducts at its Pembridge facility in Herefordshire through arigorous independent appraisal of its economic, social,environmental and natural resource impacts using Arup’sSPeAR® tool.

The results show a well balanced performance in terms ofsustainability, and that Kingspan Insulation is already meetinglegislation or best practice in most areas, even moving beyondbest practice in some. Kingspan Insulation is the first and onlyconstruction material manufacturer to have taken this boldmove and openly publish the results.

Design ConsiderationsSustainabilityIn the past, erroneously, the relative environmental sustainabilityof insulation materials has been compared on the basis of embodied energy and ozone depletion potential. It is now recognised that a much wider basket of embodiedenvironmental impacts (including those caused by theirembodied energy), rather than embodied energy alone, is theonly credible tool of comparison. Time has also annulled ozonedepletion potential as an issue as all insulation materials arenow banned from using CFC and HCFC blowing agents by law.

For buildings designed to today’s Building Regulations energyuse standards it is now also known that the embodiedenvironmental impacts of all of the materials and labour usedto create a building are insignificant in comparison with thelifetime operational environmental impacts of that building, andso are of very limited importance. Since it is operational energyuse that creates the vast majority of operational environmentalimpact, saving energy by specifying the lowest U–valuespossible is the most environmentally sustainable action to take.

However, one of the most neglected facts aboutenvironmentally sustainable buildings is that the longevity oftheir standards of operational energy use, and therefore thelongevity of their operational environmental impacts, is critical.The performance of some insulants, such as mineral fibre, candeteriorate rapidly if exposed to water penetration, airmovement or compression. This may increase operationalenergy use and hence compromise the environmentalsustainability of the finished building to an alarming degree.Other insulation materials, such as rigid phenolic or rigidurethane, are not vulnerable to any of these problems.

In summary, designers should:

(a) specify the lowest possible U–value regardless of insulationtype;

(b) design out the risk of their chosen insulant not performingas specified; and

(c) if the latter is not possible, choose an insulant that is at lowrisk of failure e.g. a cellular plastic insulation material.

K11 Roofboard

Roof LoadingDepending on the chosen waterproofing system, KingspanKooltherm® K11 Roofboard is suitable for use on access roofdecks subject to limited foot traffic. Where continuous orexcessive loadings are liable to occur it is recommended thatthe roof surface be protected by promenade tiles. The roofshould be adequately protected when building works are beingcarried out on or over the roof surface. This is best achievedby close boarding. The completed roof must not be used forthe storage of heavy building components such as bricks or airconditioning equipment.

Spanning on Metal DecksThe designer’s attention is drawn to the requirement thatinsulation boards comply with the minimum thicknesses shownin the table below, when used over metal decks with troughopenings as shown.

Trough Opening (mm) Minimum Insulant Thickness (mm)

≤ 75 2576–100 30101–125 35126–150 40151–175 45176–200 50

Wind LoadingWind loadings should be assessed in accordance with BS 6399–2: 1997 (Loading for buildings. Code of practice forwind loads).

Roof WaterproofingKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is designed for use with2 layer fully bonded torch applied waterproofing systems. The roof waterproofing should be applied as soon as possibleafter the laying of the boards. The roof waterproofing shouldbe laid where applicable in accordance with BS 8217: 2005(Reinforced bitumen membranes for roofing. Code of practice).

NB Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is unsuitable for use with partially bonded torchapplied waterproofing systems.

FallsThe fall on a flat roof should be smooth and steep enough toprevent the formation of rainwater pools. To ensure adequatedrainage, BS 6229: 2003 (Flat roofs with continuouslysupported coverings. Code of practice), recommends uniformgradients of not less than 1 in 80. The fall on a flat roofconstructed using Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard isnormally provided by the supporting structure being directedtowards the rainwater outlets. However, because of buildingsettlement, it is advisable to design in even greater falls. These can be provided by the use of a Kingspan InsulationTapered Roofing System. Further details of the KingspanThermataper® System and a complete design service areavailable from the Kingspan Insulation Tapered RoofingDepartment (see rear cover).

Water Vapour ControlKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard should be installed overa separate vapour control layer. For mechanically fixedapplications a minimum vapour control layer should consist ofa 1000 gauge / 250 micron polythene sheet with all jointslapped and then sealed with double sided self adhesive tape.Where the board is to be adhesively bonded to the vapourcontrol layer a minimum vapour control layer should consist ofcoated roofing felt complying with BS 747: 2000 (Reinforcedbitumen sheets for roofing. Specification) Type 3B, or anyappropriate metal–cored vapour control layer. Allowanceshould be made for the adequate bonding of the vapourcontrol layer to the deck so as to provide a suitable surface forKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard to be laid upon andsufficient resistance to wind up–lift (see ‘Wind Loading’).

Typical U–valuesThe following examples have been calculated using theCombined Method for compliance with Building Regulations /Standards revised after 2002. These examples are based onKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard waterproofed with a 2 layer, fully bonded, torch applied waterproofing membranefinished with 10 mm mineral chippings. The board is fullybonded to a bitumen based vapour control layer which hasitself been fully bonded to the stated type of structural roofdeck. The ceiling, where applicable, is taken to be 3 mm skimcoated 12.5 mm plasterboard with a cavity between it and the underside of the deck. If your construction is any different,please contact the Kingspan Insulation Technical ServiceDepartment (see rear cover).

Combined Method – U–values were calculated using themethod which has been adopted to bring National standardsin line with the European Standard calculation method, BS / I.S. EN ISO 6946: 1997 (Building components andbuilding elements. Thermal resistance and thermaltransmittance. Calculation method).

NB For the purposes of these calculations the standard of workmanship has been assumedgood and therefore the correction factor for air gaps has been ignored.

NB The figures quoted are for guidance only. A detailed U–value calculation together withcondensation risk analysis should be completed for each individual project. Please contact theKingspan Insulation Technical Service Department (see rear cover) for assistance.

K11 Roofboard

Sitework Vapour Control LayerMetal decks and concrete decks should be primed inaccordance with the appropriate manufacturer’s instructionsprior to the application of the hot bitumen or suitablealternative proprietary adhesive system.

The specified vapour control layer should be continued 250 mmpast the insulation abutting the parapet and then sealed.

Fixing over Metal DecksKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is generally secured to metal decks using mechanical fixings and washers (seeFigure 2).

Alternatively the boards can be bonded, either by laying into hotbitumen (max. temperature 240°C) mopped or poured over thevapour control layer, or by the use of suitable proprietaryadhesive systems. Decks should be primed in accordance withthe specified adhesive manufacturer's instructions. The boardsshould be laid break–bonded, either with the long edges atright angles to the edge of the roof or diagonally across theroof. All joints should be lightly butted.

Fixing over Concrete DecksKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard can be secured usingmechanical fixings and washers (see Figure 2), or adheredusing hot bitumen or proprietary adhesive systems, aspreferred. Regardless of the method employed concrete decks should be clean, dry, without large projections, steps orgaps and should be graded to allow the correct falls to allrainwater outlets.

Alternatively the boards can be bonded, the concrete /screeded deck must be primed in accordance with thespecified adhesive manufacturer's instructions. The vapourcontrol layer should be fully bonded to the deck, and, similarly,the Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard to the vapour controllayer, either with the use of hot bitumen or with a proprietaryadhesive system. Advice should be sought from themanufacturer of the specified adhesive system regarding thecorrect procedures for application rates and temperatures.

Fixing over Plywood DecksKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is generally secured toplywood decks using mechanical fixings and washers (seeFigure 2).

Alternatively the boards can be bonded, either by fully beddinginto hot bitumen (max. temperature 240°C) mopped or pouredover the vapour control layer, or by the use of a suitableproprietary adhesive system. The vapour control layer should be nailed (or bonded) to the deck with laps at the sides and then end–sealed by use of the appropriate adhesive.The boards should be laid break–bonded, with the boards laidat right angles to the edge of the roof or diagonally across it.All joints should be lightly butted.

Fixing over Tongue and Groove DecksGenerally, Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is securedusing mechanical fixings and washers (see Figure 2).

Alternatively the boards can be bonded using either hotbitumen or proprietary adhesive systems. For bondedapplications the vapour control layer should be nailed (the nailheads will become sealed with either the hot bitumen orproprietary adhesive). The Kingspan Kooltherm® K11Roofboard is then applied as described within ‘Fixing overPlywood Decks’.

Fixing over Woodwool DecksBoards are generally secured using mechanical fixings andwashers (see Figure 2).

Alternatively the boards can be bonded, either by fully beddingin hot bitumen or with the use of proprietary adhesive systems.Advice should be sought from the manufacturer of theadhesive system regarding correct application rates andtemperatures. Preferably, boards should be laid diagonallyacross the roof, although laying the boards with long edges at right angles to the slabs is permissible. Board joints shouldnot coincide with those of the slabs. The boards should be laid break–bonded with all joints lightly butted.

Fixing Two Layer SystemsIn situations where two layers of insulation are required, bothlayers of insulation should be installed in the same manner,which varies according to the deck type (as detailed in thepreceding five sections). In all cases, the two layers should be horizontally offset relative to each other so that no twoboard joints in the two layers coincide with each other. For mechanically fixed specifications, the base layer should befixed with minimum 1 No. fixings in the centre of each boardbefore fixing the top layer as detailed in the following section.

7

Pitched or Sloping RoofsAny provision for mechanical fixing of the waterproofing layer or layers, to prevent slippage of the cap sheet, should be made prior to the application of Kingspan Kooltherm®

K11 Roofboard.

Mechanical FixingsThe number of mechanical fixings required to fix KingspanKooltherm® K11 Roofboard will vary with the geographicallocation of the building, the topographical data, and the heightand width of the roof concerned.

Each fixing should incorporate a square or circular platewasher (50 mm x 50 mm or 50 mm diameter).

A minimum 5 No. fixings should be placed within the individualboard area and be sited > 50 mm and < 150 mm from theedges and corners of the board giving a minimum fixing rate of4.16 fixings per square metre: (1.2 x 1.0 m boards).

The requirement for additional fixings should be assessed inaccordance with BS 6399–2: 1997 (see Figure 2).

Perimeter Mechanical FixingsWhere perimeter mechanical fixings are specified, the minimum number and distribution should be as stated forfull mechanical fixing. The extent of the perimeter mechanicalfixing will depend on the design and location of the roofconcerned. The fixings should cover a distance of not lessthan two metres from the edge of the roof. The area to bemechanically fixed should extend around the completeperimeter of the roof.

Daily Working PracticeAt the completion of each day’s work, or whenever work isinterrupted for extended periods of time, a night joint must bemade in order to prevent water penetration of the roofconstruction.

CuttingCutting should be carried out by using a fine toothed saw, inorder to fit roof openings and fixtures. Do not attempt to snapthe board. Ensure accurate trimming to achieve close buttingjoints and continuity of insulation.

AvailabilityKingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboard is available throughspecialist insulation distributors and selected roofingmerchants throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe.

PackagingThe boards are supplied palletised in labelled packs,shrinkwrapped in polythene.

StorageThe packaging of Kingspan Kooltherm® K11 Roofboardshould not be considered adequate for long term outdoorprotection. Ideally, boards should be stored inside a building. If, however, outdoor storage cannot be avoided then theboards should be stacked clear of the ground and coveredwith a polythene sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards thathave been allowed to get wet should not be used.
