Kingspan Logicframe System
Engineered Timber Systems
Utilises:
– Kingspan Kooltherm insulation with superior reaction to fire propertiesPremium performance phenolic insulation with Class O surface spread of flame and low smoke obscuration
– Flame retardant treated solid timber floor joists (IWS Floor System)Pressure treated timber to provide a consistent quality of performance
– Flame retardant treated structural timber frame panelsProtecting the external aspect of the envelope from fire
– Fire resistant escape wallsPrefabricated fire resistant escape walls to provide safe egress in case of fire
Provides:
– Reduced susceptibility to fire ignitionSignificantly reducing the likelihood of accidental fire and the effect of ‘casual’ arson
– Reduced rate of fire growth and spreadProtecting the building structure when ignition does take place and providing time for fire-fighters to tackle the incident
– Reduced peak heat outputEnabling fire-fighters to approach the structure and put out the fire
– Reduced building separation distancesEnsuring that timber–frame remains an appropriate construction method for all projects
– Reduced requirement for external shieldingProtecting the cost-effectiveness of timber frame as a method of construction whilst safe-guarding the fabric of adjacent properties
Complete with:
– Excellent acoustic performanceProvided by solid timber floor joists with enhanced structural properties giving a stiffer floor structure
– Minimal differential movementSuper-dried timber treated with an effective water-repellent giving reduced movement in-service
– High levels of insulationProvided by Kingspan Kooltherm; the most thermally efficient insulation commonly available
– Reduced thermal bridgingDelivered through carefully considered and modelled external wall junctions
– Increased airtightnessAchieved by adopting Kingspan Potton air-tightness details
