Kingspan KS1000RW Trapezoidal Wall Panel
Components
This installation guide should be read in conjunction with the ‘project specific’ design drawings and Kingspan standard details. Although this installation guide is deemed to be correct at the time of publication, Kingspan reserve the right to amend the information at any time in the future. Installation Guides are available for the full range of Kingspan Insulated Roof and Wall Systems.
IMPORTANT NOTES
This is a generic KS1000RW installation guide. Details may differ from project
to project. Project-specific construction details must be used unless those
details are contrary to the principles of the Kingspan details; in which case
specific instruction should be sought.
Sequence
The panels are ordered for either ‘Right to Left’ or ‘Left to Right’
installation. Kingspan does not recommend ‘back-laying’ of the panels. If
there are panel end laps then the panels must be installed in a tiered
sequence only.
Support Structure
Ensure steelwork is suitably plumb, level and within tolerance before starting
the installation of the panels. If the panels are end lapped then check the
bearing width, location and straightness of the structural support at that
location. The minimum bearing face for intermediate supports is 60mm. The
minimum bearing width at panel end to panel end lap junctions differ, refer to
Kingspan details. The support must provide a full bearing surface for the
panel
Install
- We recommend the use of mechanical handling systems for the movement & lifting of panels into position.
- When practical, cut panels on ground prior to installation. Clean any swarf from the panel immediately
- The protective film is to be removed from the external weather face of panel & internal liner before to installation.
- Gun-grade sealant is butyl sealant for air seals and neutral cure silicone for weather seals.
Fixings
- The number of fasteners must be calculated based on spans, wind loads and fastener capacity.
- All fasteners to be minimum Class 4 Carbon steel with coloured heads, refer to the specification. Check that the fixing thread and drill tip is correct for connection to the structure.
- Install fasteners with the recommended screw gun speed selection. Use correct socket and drive, including the depth-locating nose piece to prevent over driving. Refer to the fastener manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Fixings may be installed either in the panel crown or on the panel pan. For walls confirm with the designer which method is to be used before ordering of the fixings and panel installation.
- Contact Kingspan Technical Services for project specific advice on High Humidity buildings and cyclonic regions.
Fastener Layouts
Note: Number of fasteners must be calculated based on the project specific spans and wind loads.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Panel Handling
- Appropriate personnel protective equipment should always be worn to avoid cuts and abrasions to installers and panels.
- Individual panels should always be lifted from a pack and not dragged over others.
- The weight of individual panels for lifting can be determined from the information on the packing slip.
- For larger panels the contractor would normally arrange to use appropriate material installation equipment to help lift the panels into position.
Protecting Film
When panels are supplied with a plastic protective film this should be removed
prior to site installation.
Correct and Incorrect Panel Handling
Caution
Individual panels should never be moved in a flat position as excessive
flexing may result. Excessive flexing ruptures a panel’s core, permanently
distorts the facings and may lead to thermal blistering. When moving a panel,
it must be turned on its edge first, then supported at each end with as many
men as necessary to safely handle it.
