Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board has been used in the refurbishment of 100 prefabricated British Iron and Steel Federation (BISF) homes

Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board has been used in the refurbishment of 100 prefabricated British Iron and Steel Federation (BISF) homes, in Moss Bank, St Helens. Helena Homes commissioned the project with the aim of extending the life span of the properties by a minimum of 30 years. Initial tests on the homes confirmed their poor thermal performance, achieving a U-value of only 2.09W/m2K. An external wall insulation (EWI) solution, installed
by partner contractor Forrest, was specified by the project design team to improve this. The design uses 100mm of Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board with Alumasc’s Swisspan EWI system, allowing the houses to be insulated and to look better, without moving residents out of their homes.
