The Project

Kingspan Timber Solutions were asked to supply the specialist panel frames for 185 new homes in beautifully landscaped grounds. The houses were constructed using the patented Kingspan TEK® prefabricated structural insulated panel building system.

The Design

Hanham Hall is the first site in the government's Carbon Challenge initiative. It is scheduled to become one of the first zero-carbon communities in England. It was for this reason that Kingspan TEK® structural insulated panels were selected as the building system for this project. Kingspan TEK® due to its thermal performance and airtightness levels being able to reach the Passivhaus Standard. To deliver this, the focus was on getting the building fabric insulated and airtight. The fact that Kingspan Timber Solutions take responsibility for delivering the technical performance of the building made it possible to ensure that the client got the performance they required.
