Kingspan’s innovation agenda is driven across four key themes – performance, solutions, sustainability and digitalisation.
We have a rigorous focus on iterative performance improvements in our current portfolio including characteristics relating to thermal, structural, sustainability, fire and smoke. We innovate solutions to enable architects and building designers to create sustainable buildings, such as our integrated insulated panel with solar-PV, PowerPanel®. We are on a pathway to embrace the opportunity that AI presents to the organisation. We are also progressively surfacing our products digitally, making it easier to find, specify, buy and track them.
Strategic highlights
- The launch of PowerPanel® 2.0 marked a key development in this segment and a significant engineering milestone, integrating our QuadCore® insulated panel with solar technology to deliver a single-fix system that combines high-performance insulation with renewable energy generation.
- Our Innovation and Planet Passionate teams worked in partnership to take significant steps forward in the development of LEC alternatives across our portfolios. In 2025, we brought 18 new LEC products to market including: Topdek LEC, Evolution LEC, Ecofil Premium LEC and HAC LEC.
- Advnsys has continued to develop our HAC systems with modular solutions integrating liquid cooling, electrical infrastructure and air handling capabilities.
Assured Warranty
Structural and thermal performance of the QuadCore® panel covered for up to 25 years. The external coating is warrantied for up to 40 years.
The PV module covered for up to 25 years and up to 30 year linear power warranty.

Circularity and end-of-life
- Takeback schemes and recovery
infrastructure build-out; - Kingspan Light Air Water RECOVR® Centre: consolidation of collection and processing capability;
- Evaluation of mechanical and chemical recycling
routes: pilots with market partners; - Novitumen® technology: circular bitumen material made from 100% recycled bitumen recovered from demolition roofs, production waste, and offcuts, enabling the creation of high-performance membranes; and
- Research programmes addressing recycling of legacy materials and products.
Next generation core technologies and performance leadership
- QuadCore® platform evolution: enhanced fire resistance, reduced calorific contribution, and clean room classification pathway (FM4882);
- QuadCore® 2.0: continued rPET geographic roll out;
- Next generation Kooltherm®: improved insulation values, fire performance and lower GWP;
- InnovaCELLTM (North America): pathways to lower embodied carbon, with testing to regional fire standards (such as, ASTM E119 / CAN ULC S101, with DM40 F+ targeting 60 minute rating);
- AlphaCore® and Optim-R® E: advanced thermal performance options; and
- Fire Engineering Research Centre: UKAS ISO17025 accreditation expected in 2026.
