The Benchmark Architectural Building Envelope Solutions Product Design Manual
Kingspan Insulated Panels North America
A key tool for architects and the entire building team is Kingspan Insulated Panels North America’s unique Benchmark Architectural design manual, or “Black Book” as it’s often called. Titled Benchmark Architectural Building Envelope Solutions, the 248-page book was created by Kingspan last year to educate and inspire architects, specifiers, engineers, building owners and allied professionals about their environmentally progressive Benchmark series of architectural panel systems, integrated window systems, column and beam covers, louvers and shades. The manual consolidates product literature and information—in addition to other key resources and how-to information—into a single, easy-to-use resource.
Conveniently, the manual is available in both electronic and print formats. The Black Book reflects the countless design capabilities of Kingspan Benchmark products, incorporating three-dimensional isometric construction details, case studies and product specifications. Product specifications and application
photographs throughout the manual demonstrate the integration of profiles, colors, module widths, custom corners, radius options and more.
A comprehensive guide for sustainable design—Kingspan’s architectural product line takes full advantage of insulated metal panel (IMP) technology. Benchmark wall systems can be integrated with window and door systems, insulated roofing systems, and photovoltaic (PV) technology, among other construction approaches. Kingspan’s full Benchmark Architectural line of highly insulating, design-driven building construction systems includes: the Kingspan Designwall Series Architectural Wall Panels—available in virtually unlimited profiles, colors, finishes and design R-values; Kingspan’s Flushglaze Window Systems; Column and Beam Covers; and integral, durable Louvers and Sun Shades.
