Kingspan Insulation introduces its slimmest solution for inverted roofs

Kingspan Insulation has launched the OPTIM-R E Inverted Roofing System, the latest evolution in its innovative vacuum insulation panel (VIP) range, providing a thin solution for challenging applications. The VIPs feature a protective spray coating, providing a robust finish which allows easy handling around site.

With a declared thermal conductivity as low as 0.008 W/mK, and a design thermal conductivity as low as 0.009 W/mK, Kingspan OPTIM-R E offers an excellent solution on new and refurbishment projects where a lack of construction depth or space is an issue. These include applications where the upstand height is already set or where an even transition is needed between internal and external spaces.
The system combines OPTIM-R E VIPs with infill strips of the same thickness which can be cut to size to fit around the perimeter of the roof, to fill any awkward gaps between the VIPs and to allow for penetrations through the roof.

Each project is supported by Kingspan’s dedicated design service, tailoring the solution to ensure the target U-value can be met with the slimmest possible insulation depth. Each layout clearly illustrates the size, number and location of the OPTIM-R E VIPs, facilitating a fast, dry installation on site.

The system, manufactured at Kingspan Insulation’s facility in Pembridge, Herefordshire, also provides excellent protection for the waterproof membrane and is compatible with most green roof systems.
