Business
Case
Introduction
Speed of build
Risk to the client is reduced through predictability and speed of
programme which in turn offers a quicker return on investment in
comparison to traditional building methods.
Rapid dry envelope – SFS assists in reducing the time to achieve
a watertight structure when compared to traditional building
methods. This facilitates earlier access for follow–on trades
which subsequently reduces the build programme.
Sustainability
Light gauge steel offers high strength to weight ratio and
therefore reduces material usage over traditional materials.
Light gauge steel walls offer A ratings in the BRE Green Guide.
Steel sections are 100% recyclable. This is increasingly important
as the lifetime environmental impact of buildings is further
scrutinised to meet tighter Government legislation.
Light gauge steel reduces the overall weight of walling relative to
blockwork reducing loads imposed on foundations.
Quality and Cost
Lightweight cold-rolled steel sections are precision engineered
products manufactured to tight tolerances ensuring exact
performance resulting in less time spent on-site correcting errors
and solving problems.
Steel is dimensionally stable and does not suffer from shrinkage.
Tight tolerances – high dimensional accuracy of construction
gives long term reliability.
The rapid construction characteristic of Kingframe SFS allows
the client to realise significant productivity savings compared to
traditional building methods.
SFS can incorporate a vast array of architectural treatments and
features and allows large spans and large structural openings to
be formed with reduced requirement for windposts.
‘Just-in-time’ – delivery of components as needed allows
construction on tight sites, lowering costs in site management
and storage facilities.
Kingframe SFS has been assessed and is CE Marked in
line with the Kingspan Declaration of Performance No:
CPR-2013.SFS.001. Covered by Harmonised Standard
BS EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011
Design
If requested, schemes can be fully detailed prior to rolling,
exposing potential clashes at the design stage thereby resolving
them before they become costly problems on-site.
If required, our in-house design team can be involved at all
stages of the project to offer the most cost-effective design
solution.

Service
& Support
Introduction
Depending on the characteristics of the project,
Kingspan are able to offer the following levels of
service and support.
Proposal
Upon receipt of a request for SFS, Kingspan create a proposal
document. This gives a specification for stud sizes, aperture
detailing and any non-standard details.
This document can be used to price the work and becomes the
basis for proceeding to Basic or Full Design.
Basic Design
With our ‘Basic’ design service, we will conduct a review of the
Architects and Structural Engineers drawings to find the most
commonly repeated details across your project.
We will then undertake a structural design for agreed selected
bay drawings and associated details and produce a typical
elevation drawing and specification indicating appropriate
section sizes for the various elements in the panel.
Beswick, Manchester, UK
Any non-standard areas or details will be specifically highlighted
as part of the review.
All elements included in the Basic Design are covered by the
Kingspan design warranty.
Calculations for each panel can be provided upon confirmation in
writing that steel will be procured from Kingspan.
O&M Manuals are provided upon completion of the
design work.
NB: This service is relevant to infill schemes and will not generally be offered
in oversail or load bearing situations.
NB: Load bearing structures are outside the scope of this document - Seek

Introduction
Full Design Service
We look at every aspect of your project when
undertaking full design and for that reason,
every project is assessed on its own merits so
we can offer the most efficient and costeffective solution for you.
Full Drawing Information
Detailed Structural Calculations
Kingspan provides detailed plan, section and elevation drawings
Where full design is required, and if specifically requested,
for the areas of SFS on the project so there is no doubt what the
framing sections construction is for any given part of the
building. Kingspan also ensures that its drawings are passed
through the relevant approval procedures, so that installation
proceeds with the assurance that it has been approved by the
project architect, and that they are available for submission to
the client as part of the CDM and O&M requirements.
Kingspan can provide detailed calculations to the relevant codes
of practice for submission to Building Control.
Site Handover
To ensure a smooth transition from design office to site at the
start of every project Kingspan issue a copy of the Technical and
Installation manuals. This ensures that the client is aware of the
design requirements of the SFS system. A Designers Risk
Assessment is also issued to highlight care points for site
erectors.
Project Management Support
Kingspan understands that you cannot accurately estimate cost
for every possibility on a project and that programmes can vary
due to the unpredictable nature of site. Kingspan is your
representative in the design decision making process and will
always serve your interests to prevent cost and the programme
from over-running. Kingspan has gained significant experience
whilst working on some of the country’s largest and most
prestigious construction projects.
Site Inspection
For peace of mind that the SFS has been installed correct to
the Kingspan Drawings we can perform a site inspection,
highlighting any areas which may require remediation to site
personnel. We will then follow up with a detailed site report
outlining areas where work is required.

System
Overview
The Kingframe Steel Framing System (SFS) is a component supply structural stud façade system
commonly used in two main methods: Infill and Oversail. The system consists of C shaped studs and
U shaped tracks designed on a project specific basis to form the inner leaf of an external façade.
Both systems are constructed on-site and must be designed and
installed to relevant codes and standards. Liability for the quality
and accuracy of the installation rests with the installation contractor
and not Kingspan.
Both systems achieve early weather protection of the
building allowing other internal fitting trades to work inside
the structure and removing external cladding from the
critical path. Furthermore, these systems also provide lateral
support to most cladding materials including masonry,
profiled metal sheets, proprietary panels, insulated render
systems, terracotta and timber rain screen systems.
It should be noted that SFS is not intended to provide
vertical support for masonry façades.
SFS has been extensively used in construction projects covering
residential flats, apartments, healthcare and educational
developments, commercial developments, public buildings and
industrial properties.
Sections are supplied to site as individual components and fully
assembled in-situ. This is an advantage where site access /
It is also possible to design Kingspan SFS sections to form the
primary load bearing structural framing for low rise buildings.
This is beyond the scope of this manual but information is available
on request from Kingspan.
craneage is restricted. Components can be supplied in final
required lengths or standard lengths cut to suit on site.
By cutting to length on site, construction tolerances in structures
can be fully accommodated.
Infill Systems are typically supported at the slab edge between
hot-rolled steel or concrete structures. This allows insulation and
external finishes to be installed outside the main structural frame if
the correct tolerance scheme is adopted. The system is suitable for
both low and high-rise construction. A deflection allowance is
required at each floor level.
Oversail Systems are fitted outside the line of the structural frame
using support cleats at each floor level with connections designed
to allow slab deflection. It is particularly suited to situations where
cladding materials are sensitive to differing movement of the main
frame. Adequate base support must be provided to accommodate
vertical loading.
20
Technical
Manual
System
Overview
Design Considerations
Design Life
SFS sections are hot dip galvanised with a 20µm zinc coating and
are intended for warm frame construction. This is to say that the
SFS is always fully enclosed within the warm envelope of the
facade insulation applied to the external face of the SFS.
The Kingspan standard SFS System can achieve a maximum
deflection tolerance at the head of an infill frame of +/–25mm.
Conditions that have a greater live load deflection value must be
referred to Kingspan technical department. In oversail framing, the
deflection tolerance is generally accommodated within the
supporting bracketry and is therefore not limited by the SFS.
Where parapets / upstands / downstands etc are formed in SFS,
they should be insulated to all exposed faces in order to satisfy this
requirement.
Building Regulation Requirements
Assuming that the SFS is maintained within a warm frame
environment, current industry guidance1 is that a design life of 250
years can be expected. Where the SFS is installed in a cold frame
environment (low risk of water ingress, some risk of condensation),
this reduces to 50-60 years.
The installer should refer to the main contractor and the architect to
ensure that the requirements under Building Regulations for areas
such as air tightness, fire resistance, thermal bridging and acoustic
protection are met before construction begins. When clad in
suitable materials and linings, SFS constructions can achieve
performances in excess to those required by the current
regulations. As the performance is governed by the cladding and
linings designed and supplied by others, Kingspan cannot provide
specific guidance in these areas. If you require further guidance,
please consider use of the our KingBuild System (KBS).
SFS may be used in potentially corrosive environments, such as
swimming pool buildings, providing that the internal finishes are
designed to protect the frame. There are a number of boards
specifically designed as a moisture resistant lining system for
swimming pool applications.

Edition. The Steel Construction Institute, 2009
Live Load Deflection
Every structure, whether concrete or steel, will move when placed
under load during normal use. This is anticipated within the design
of the building by the engineers and must be accommodated
within the SFS system. This movement is in the vertical plane and
is normally at its maximum displacement at mid-span between
vertical supports e.g. columns. The expected total movement may
be calculated by using the formula below in the absence of specific
guidance from the design engineer;
Span between supporting columns divided by

System
Overview
Construction Design Management
The Construction Design Management (CDM) regulations 2007
redefined the responsibilities and guidance for system suppliers
and designers on all construction projects in the UK. Wherever
possible, Kingspan will take measures to design out any risk to the
installer during construction of the SFS. Kingspan will identify
potential CDM risks to the named individual within the project team.
It is the responsibility of the Installer to provide the contact details of
this individual to Kingspan.
A description of the hazard is then written into the legend of the
drawings. The most frequently identified specific risks are:
Multiple different stud systems / gauges specified on
drawing – installer to implement sufficient QA checks to ensure
compliance with scheme. Consider requesting Kingspan site
inspection.
Long span studs – installer to prepare adequate method
statement for handling of high span studs. Consider mechanical
lifting equipment.
When Kingspan recognises a hazard to health and safety that
cannot be avoided through design, the hazard and proposed
mitigation is identified on the drawings using the following symbol:
Heavy lifting – installer to prepare adequate method statement
for handling heavy materials. Consider mechanical lifting
equipment.
Large structural openings – lintels, cills and jambs must
be formed with continuous (NOT spliced) members. Installer to
ensure specific section lengths ordered as required.
Edge protection required – If the SFS cill is too low to offer
Figure 1 - CDM Hazard Identification
edge protection to BS EN 13374:2004, then the main contractor
should provide an additional edge protection system.

Fixings
Kingspan do not generally sell fixings associated with SFS. Set out below are standard SFS fixings from a variety of manufacturers. All fixings
stated are recommendations only. All connections from the SFS to any interfacing structure or material must be checked for suitability and
design with Kingspan and the third party supplier prior to construction. Installers may also wish to use other fixings – this should be
communicated to Kingspan at the start of the project (prior to design commencing) such that they can be checked for suitability and
incorporated into the design.

Design Principles
General Stud Design & Construction
Studs are generally provided vertically at centres of 600mm, though
may be provided at 400mm or 300mm as determined by structural
calculation. These centres are determined by interfacing board
dimensions of 2400 x 1200mm (external or internal board).
The frames are constructed using a head and base track into
which vertical studs are placed. Deflection is typically
accommodated at the head connection of the vertical studs
to the head track. A corresponding deflection gap in the
cladding is normally also needed.
Type 3 – Block and Bracing
There may be areas of the build where it is not possible to access
both flanges of the head track. Below the obstruction, the studs will
receive flat strap fixed on either side with a
noggin section tightly fitted and fixed between every third stud and
at both ends of each bay. When the noggin is fitted the studs will
remain solidly in place, unable to twist due to the blocking section.
Type 4 – Head Track Blocking
The installer may create the allowance for deflection, by placing
blocking sections of stud within the top track, tightly fitting between
every stud. This will prevent the studs from racking or twisting and
allow the track to move freely over the studs.
Structural Openings
The forming of structural openings is easily managed with the Infill
SFS System. Constructions of lintels, cills and jambs must always
be confirmed by Kingspan engineers. Details given in Section 6
show construction method only and do not form a specification.
Mid Span Restraint (Detail B.01)
Mid span restraint may be specified by Kingspan engineers in
instances of high vertical spans or of high load. Their purpose is to
restrain the studs from twisting.
Splicing of Sections
Infill sections should be ordered to length or to be cut down on site.
Under no circumstances should they be spliced together.
Cladding Treatments & Boarding
The performance of the SFS when subject to loads from cladding
treatments is taken into account by Kingspan engineers. Specialist
cladding treatments may require different structural schemes based
on the loading arrangements or system requirements of these
systems. Unless otherwise instructed, Kingspan engineers will
assume that all loads are uniformly distributed across a given panel.
Deflection Head Details
Deflection zones must be kept clear of all fixings and materials that
may compromise the movement joint provided at the head of the
SFS. Kingspan Technical will defer to Type 1 deflection method in
all instances where a fixing can be practically made on both sides
of the SFS wall. Each method has implications on design and they
should not be interchanged on site without prior agreement with
Kingspan. Further details on all methods are available in the
standard details.
Masonry Cladding
SFS can provide lateral support to masonry cladding
(i.e. restraint from wind loads) but it must never be used
to support brick or other such heavy-weight cladding.
It is the responsibility of the primary structural engineer on
the project to ensure that adequate support for such cladding
types is provided.
Type 1 – Slotted Stud (Detail A21)
The Slotted Stud system works using a centrally positioned
pre-punched slot in the flange of the ‘C’ profile. The stud is secured
using fixings installed through both flanges of the head track
through the slots in the stud. This allows for relative deflection of
the head track whilst still providing restraint for the studs.
Service Holes
SF If it is necessary to form service holes on site the rules outlined
in SCI Publication 301 – Light Steel Framing in Residential
Construction (Section 9) should always be adhered to.
When using the slotted stud, the installer should be aware of
the following:
In no circumstance should sections be notched out to make way
for services. If guidelines are not followed holes etc. may render the
element useless and result in damage to the local area.
When placing orders for slotted studs, the order must
clearly state that slotted studs are required. This is the
responsibility of the installer.
If holes are formed, the zinc galv which protects the steel from
corrosion is removed and hence the cut edge must be immediately
coated using an appropriate zinc protective primer.
Kingspan have a minimum rolling length of 600mm for
each section. Therefore, cripple studs beneath this length
are not available with slots and may require a deflection head
bracket.
When cutting holes use specialist equipment to limit the roughness
of the cut edges. Once the edges are treated, rubber or
polyethylene grommets should be used to line the inner face of the
opening to prevent damage to cables etc.
Type 2 – Deflection Head Clip (Detail A14)
The deflection head clip system works using a shaped bracket
that fits inside the legs of the track that holds the stud in place,
providing clearance for the track to move without fouling on the
top of the stud or on any fixings.

2/3rd Minimum Bearing
As a general rule, the head and base tracks of any SFS frame must
be supported by a minimum of 2/3rd the width of the track by a
primary structural element (concrete or hot rolled steel).
In instances at the head of a frame where this bearing is not
available, ‘Z’ bars may be used as shown in Detail B.06. At the
base of a frame, Detail B.07 may be used. All conditions must
be checked with a Kingspan engineer prior
to construction.

Design Principles
General Stud Design & Construction
Studs are generally provided vertically at centres of 600mm,
400mm or 300mm. These centres are determined by interfacing
board dimensions of 2400x1200mm (external or internal board).
The SFS is set outside the line of the primary structure and fixed
back to steel beams and / or concrete slabs using specifically
designed brackets. Due to the varying nature of setting out,
all brackets are designed on a project specific basis. Brackets or
ledger angles may require fitting to the slab edge onto which either
horizontal track or vertical studs can be fitted. Each stud requires
individually setting out by design to ascertain the right position for
the support brackets. This construction method is limited as to the
amount of stories it can form before being dead load fixed back to
the slab. For project specific guidance, please contact Kingspan.
Mid Span Restraint (Detail B.01)
Mid span restraint is often used in oversail façades to help stiffen
the panel construction. The use of mid span restraints will be
determined under structural calculation and shown on the
Kingspan elevation drawings. The specification and setting out of
these noggins will be given in Kingspan drawings.
Deflection Conditions (Detail D.02)
The provision for deflection within an oversail system is within the
bracket fixed to the studs. The face of the bracket that fits to the
stud will be slotted and the face of the bracket that goes to the
substrate will be hard fixed. This will allow the structure to deflect
independently of the SFS.
Curved Walling
Splicing of Sections
Studs should be spliced into manageable lengths to facilitate safe
site installation and to guarantee adequate structural performance.
These splices are individually designed to ensure that they are
strong enough for each application but will generally be just above
restraint points.
Please contact the Technical Department for Further Information.
Cladding Treatments & Boarding (Detail E.01 & E.02)
Please refer to guidance on page 38.
Service Holes
The principles outlined in Infill SFS on page 38 apply to the Oversail
system.
Additional details
Kingspan can provide details for the following:
Braced Bays
Parapets and Downstands
Ribbon Windows; and
Brise Soleil
Fixings
The correct and adequate fixing of brackets to the primary
structure must be specified by Kingspan engineers. Generally,
bracket fixing to concrete take the form of either mechanical or
resin anchors and fixings to hot rolled steel will be grade 8.8
structural bolts.
Structural Openings
Structural openings are formed in the same manner as the Infill
method. However, due to increased loading conditions at jambs,
lintels and cills, the support bracketry to these elements may
require heavier gauges and increased fixing capacities.
Where openings do not align floor on floor, it may be impractical to
use traditional oversail SFS. In these instances, single storey
‘overfills’ may be formed outside the line of the building using
bespoke bracketry as shown in detail D.03.

External brickwork by others
Wall tie with drip available from KSBS
All masonry must be dead loaded to a suitable support
(slab edge angle or ground slab) as the SFS is designed to
withstand horizontal loads only in this case.
Brick Tie Studs
All fixings of brick tie channels are to be fixed back to the SFS
through the insulation. In instances around structural openings,
an additional stud is provided at a nominal 150mm from the line of
the opening to accept the channel as Detail F.01.

When the render build up is applied either adhesively or
mechanically to the SFS, there are no special requirements to
consider. A typical wall build up is given above;
Cavity Systems
Where a drainage / ventilation cavity is required, the same
principles are to be adopted from a masonry outer leaf build up,
only if using render on block. If using ventilated render on rail
system adopt principles for Terracotta Rainscreen.

Stone Panels
Lightweight metal rainscreen systems may be supported from an
SFS system. There are typically two main types of support to a tile
based system; horizontal and vertical supporting rails.
Stone panels must be dead loaded to a suitable element to transfer
all dead weight into the primary structure. The SFS is designed to
withstand horizontal forces only in this situation. The setting out
and direction of span of the stone is critical to the performance of
the SFS and must be reviewed by Kingspan engineers.
Horizontal Supporting Rails
Where the interfacing rails for the rainscreen are fixed horizontally
to the SFS, the load is evenly distributed across the frame.
This requires no special constructions within the SFS.
Vertical Supporting Rails
Where the cladding support rails span vertically the SFS may need
to be set out and designed to ensure that the rails have adequate

Products
Cold rolled components are manufactured from pre-hot dipped
galvanised steel, Z275 coating, guaranteed yield strength
390 N/mm2. All studs, joists, tracks and accessories shall be of a
type, size, gauge and spacing determined by structural calculation
and as shown on the drawings, and shall be supplied by Kingspan.
Unless stated otherwise in the calculations, all structural members
are designed in accordance with UK codes of practice.
Complete, uniform and level bearing support shall be provided to
upper and lower tracks. Abutting lengths of track shall be securely
anchored to a common structural element and spliced, all as
determined by structural calculations. Studs shall be plumbed,
aligned and securely attached / located within upper and lower
tracks. Framing of wall openings shall include headers, lintels and
supporting studs as shown on the drawings. Temporary bracing
shall be provided where required until completion of erection.
The erection contractor is responsible for the temporary stability of
the structure during construction.
Procurement
It is the installer’s responsibility to survey the host structure to
ensure correct stud lengths are ordered to suit as built dimensions.
Host / Primary structure tolerances can have an impact on the steel
sizes required – it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
compliance. It is the installer’s responsibility to produce a cutting list
and order Kingspan materials. This should be co-ordinated to suit
the desired construction programme.
External Walls
Insulation should be provided over the external face of the stud
walling that is sufficiently robust to remain in place during and post
construction, and should have adequate thermal resistance to
prevent cold bridging and interstitial condensation. Insulation
should be fixed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
Consideration should be given to joints in insulation boards and the
repair of damage to prevent moisture ingress e.g. taping of joints or
provision of a breather membrane. Internal linings should be fixed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and selected to
achieve the specified performance for fire, thermal, and acoustic
requirements. Where masonry cladding forms the external
envelope, it should be tied back to the Kingspan studs using
stainless steel wall ties and continuous channels fixed with standoff
screws. Additional studs are to be fitted at all jambs to provide
support for wall ties.
Drawing Approval
All drawings must be approved by the main contract Engineer and
project Architect prior to construction works.
Erection of Components
All systems are constructed on-site and must be installed to British
Standard BS5950, BS8000 and NSSS (National Structural
Steelwork Specification). Liability for the quality and accuracy of the
installation rests with the Contractor and not Kingspan. Care must
be taken when site cutting components particularly where they are
to be used in right angled connections. It is important that all ends
are cut square and cut edges should be protected with zinc rich
paint. Fixing of components shall be with self-tapping screws or
otherwise by design. Screw type and size shall be as typical details
or to a project specific design. All screw fixings must be installed
perpendicular to the surface wherever possible. All bolt fixings are
to be Grade 8.8. No holes are to be cut or formed in Kingspan SFS
without prior reference to Kingspan. Service slots can be provided
in studs when requested and if deemed acceptable by Kingspan
Design Department. Track members shall be securely anchored to
the supporting structure as shown on the drawings.

Use
Steel Sections – form internal / external, structural /
non-structural walls, floors and ceilings. They may be supplied
partially or fully assembled.
It is important that sufficient space is available for moving sections
from the unloading point to any intermediate storage area and / or
the final assembly location.
Typical Composition
Steel panels are assembled from cold rolled steel sections
manufactured from hot dip, zinc-coated / iron zinc coated slit steel
coil to BS EN 10143:2006. The profiles are rolled in accordance
with the specification for cold rolled steel profiles to BS EN
10162:2003. Cold rolled profiles are manufactured as suitable for
use in the specification of galvanised steel stud and track walls and
linings using screw fixed gypsum walling board to BS 7364:1990 or
other boards depending on the application.
Where banded sections require lifting by hoists and cranes then
ropes and slings should be used together with a suitable trailing tie
to stop uncontrolled swinging. Bundles should never be lifted by
their bands.
Storage of Product
All steel sections can be stacked either flat or on edge and must be
supported along their length and width. A number of
recommendations are made:
i) All sections should be stored in clean, dry conditions, protected
from inclement weather.
Boards, Fastenings and Fittings may be of various proprietary
materials each of which will have its own safety information sheet
supplied by the manufacturer.
ii) No sections should be stored next to or in contact with dry
cement, lime, plaster or mortar.
Steel
All steel is hot dip iron zinc galvanised to a coating thickness
typically of 275g/m2.
iii) Full bundles of sections should not be stacked more than two
high with each bundle adequately separated by timber batons of
equal sizes placed at regular intervals along the length of the
pack.
Handling of Product
Steel sections are either handled individually or banded into
bundles for ease of transportation depending on size, shape and
weight.
Disposal of Product
The disposal of steel, panel or other associated waste / scrap must
be carried out by an authorised and qualified disposal agent and in
any case at a site suitable for the re-cycling of the steel section,
or an authorised land fill site. The sharp edges could present a
danger and must be kept out of reach.
Steel sections are loaded onto transport in a way that enables
easier mechanical off-loading.
Kingspan provide guidance on handling methods to the contractor
as part of the installation training course.
Any distortion or damage to the sections must be avoided during
handling as this could affect structural integrity.

Health Hazards, Precautions & First Aid
Steel sections are designed to be structurally sound according to
each application and are structurally capable in the assembled
designed condition only. The integrity of the assembled panel /
module must not be reduced by unauthorised dismantling and / or
removal of material whether steel, board or fastenings. Panel /
module assemblies are not designed to support any structure other
than the finished product so must neither be used, nor relied upon,
as supports during storage or assembly.
Health Hazard – Skin Contact:
Lacerations of the skin can occur from sharp corners and edges or
when breaking open strapping. Foot injuries could also be
sustained when walking over discarded steel debris on site
(e.g. re-cut edges of sections). Steel shavings and sparks are
produced when using tools (particularly power tools).
Health Hazard – Eye Contact
Extreme care must be taken when releasing and breaking open
bundle strapping. When bundle strapping is cut tension is released,
causing the strapping to spring freely from the bundle which can
result in eye injury. The use of tools (especially power cutting tools)
on steel sections generates potentially hazardous shavings and
sparks.
2. Lifting – recommended techniques must be adhered to and
manual lifting should be limited to acceptable weights. Never lift
any packs that are not within the method limits.
Precautions:
1. Hand and Power tools – should be used only by those wearing
suitable protection.
3. Loading and Unpacking – suitable gloves and protective clothing
should be worn.
4. General Handling – persons with skin problems, grazes and
those known to be sensitive to mineral oils should protect hands
and exposed skin with a barrier cream or suitable gloves.
Precautions
Packs and bundles must be opened whilst on the ground to avoid
the possibility of their contents falling over and causing injury. A
number of protective measures are also recommended:
First Aid:
In the event of skin irritation or injury, immediate medical attention
must be sought by an appropriately qualified person.
1. Safety footwear should be worn.
Health Hazard - Inhalation:
Steel sections at atmospheric temperatures do not emit any fumes
or gasses.
2. Suitable eye protection should be used (a) when cutting the
strapping; (b) when cutting the profile and c) when using tools of
any sort.
3. Safety gloves capable of protecting the skin form steel shavings
and sharp edges should be worn.
Precautions:
(As stated above).
4. Strapping should be restrained from springing freely whilst
being cut.
Health Hazard – Ingestion:
(not applicable)
Health Hazard – Exposure limits:
(not applicable)
Health Hazard – Fire and Explosion hazards:
(not applicable)
First Aid
In the event of eye injury, cuts or abrasions, seek immediate
medical attention. It is also recommended that if a cut is received
requiring medical or first aid attention, professional advice should
be attained regarding the possible need for a Tetanus injection.

High Bay
Walls
Framing principles are generally the same as for external SFS
infill walls with the following additional considerations:
Kingspan SFS is suitable for use in high bay
walling applications, creating high span partition
walls in open frame buildings. The sections’
high stiffness and strength relative to their
weight makes SFS ideal to form such spans
without excessive loading being applied to
the foundations.
If fixing to the underside of long span roof beams or intermediary
purlins, there may be a high design deflection to be expected.
This should be confirmed by the primary structural engineer.
The connection of the SFS to the beam must allow for this as
shown below.
Internal bays in excess of 13m tall may be formed using
Kingspan's 300mm deep sections (subject to confirmation of
project loading and deflection requirements).
Purlins by others fixed to
long span roof beams
Unequal angles to provide
high deflection tolerance
Deflection gap to structural
engineers requirements
Kingspan high
bay wall studs
Due to the long spans, the studs are more prone to twisting and
additional blocking and bracing as detail B.01 may be required
by design. Sections must be ordered in full lengths and handling
of such large span components should be considered at the
design stage.
Contact Kingspan for further design guidance or to make use of
our Design Service.

KingPin Rainscreen
Support System
®
Continuing our progress in offering better solutions to the construction industry, Kingspan have
developed a new rainscreen support system – KingPin®. (Patent applied for)
Benefits
Features
Unique connectivity, self-sealing, BRE certificated and compliant
with Building Regulations Parts L1 and L2.
Increases speed and ease of installation with a cost-effective
alternative to conventional façade support systems.
Maintenance-free with durability up to 60 years.
Function
To provide enhanced thermal and fire performance while
minimising insulation thickness and reducing overall wall / façade
thickness.
The KingPin® Rainscreen Support System is available only as part of the Kingframe Steel
Framing System (SFS) and Kingbuild System (KBS).
Thermal Performance
Thermal performance has been substantially improved by the
choice of stainless steel over the more traditionally used aluminium
alloy. The thermal conductivity of stainless steel is approximately
eight times less than aluminium alloys of typical established
systems. This thermal performance, combined with a reduced
cross sectional area of support, provides a dramatic reduction in
heat lost through the brackets.
The system incorporates a durable sealing gasket, offering
enhanced thermal performance properties. Seal reliability not only
reduces the risk of water penetration, but also enhances the air
tightness performance of the system.
KingPin® provides robust
sealing combined with
significantly reduced
thermal loss.
74
Aluminium rainscreen
brackets require holes to be
cut and resealed and cause

Technical
Manual
KingPin Rainscreen
Support System
®
Structural Performance
Providing connectivity and support in a unique and novel way
(patent applied for), the performance of the fasteners under
conditions of wind suction has been enhanced on the thinner
framing materials by the use of improved fastener technology.
Detailing Simplicity
Detailing of the system is simple, the thickness of the insulation
being the only determining factor in the parts to be installed. The
horizontal spacing of the system is to coincide with the studs,
vertical spacing is dependent on wind loading, and is designed by
the Kingspan design team.
Material Durability
Stainless steel is used for the brackets and clips, with a compatible
aluminium alloy used for the external bars. The environmental
resistance of the EPDM seal makes it compatible with the life-spans
of the metal hardware.
The clip feature of the system allows up to 20mm of adjustment
(nominal +/-10mm), and the nominal stooling is determined by the
selection of the tees and angles used with the clips. In addition to
tees and angles, there are also adaptors for timber battens.
Channel sections for metal hung cassettes may bolted directly to
the tubes, omitting the clips. A bracket for the direct support of
timber battens is also available.
Bespoke carrier brackets for the support of feature bands and
signage may also be fitted.
Rainscreen brackets
Brackets for
timber battens
and bespoke

Advantages
Kingframe SFS has many inherent advantages
and has become the first choice for many
contractors due to the benefits it offers
compared to traditional techniques.
Building Physics:
Warm frame construction from lightweight cold rolled steel
sections can be designed to easily achieve high levels of
structural, fire, acoustic and thermal performance achieving
excellent thermal and acoustic performance ahead of Building
Control requirements.
Quality & Cost:
Lightweight cold rolled steel sections are precision engineered
products manufactured to tight tolerences ensuring exact
performance resulting in less time spent on-site correcting errors
and solving problems.
Speed of build:
Risk to the client is reduced through predictability and speed of

structure over a traditional build allows access for follow on
trades earlier and further reduces the build programme.
SFS can incorporate a vast array of architectural
treatments and features and allows large spans and large
structural openings without the need for windposts.
Sustainability:
Light gauge steel offers high strength to weight ratio and
therefore reduces material usage over traditional materials.
Just-in-time – delivery of components as needed allows
construction on tight sites, lowering costs in site management
and storage facilities.
Light steel walls offer A ratings in the BRE Green Guide (2007).
Steel sections are 100% recyclable.

Building Information
Modelling
Within the highly competitive field of construction, the adaptation of new technology enhancements
is considered an essential requirement. BIM Technology is being rolled out and Kingspan are at the
forefront of this development.
Why We Need BIM (“Building Information Modelling”)
Conventional business procedures are being replaced by growth
due to the integration of information and communication
technologies to meet changing business requirements. This assists
construction companies to open doors to expand their businesses
universally regardless of any construction limitations.
Government Vision and Kingspan’s Mission
The concept of prefabrication has grown in recent years to
change conventional construction processes and simultaneously
BIM has emerged to improve traditionally ill functioning business
communication flow.
With the announcement that BIM is to be rolled out to ‘all’
construction projects by 2016, there is a stepped move forward
towards the day to day use of BIM within the construction industry.
Emerging ICT developments and new construction techniques
have generated much needed discussion about how these two
streams are connected together.
With their latest in-house development, Kingspan is well prepared
to deliver BIM to its customers across all cold rolled product sets.
A Building Information Model (BIM) is a sole database of building
design information. Not only a design model, it is an information
base which can be used throughout the life cycle of the building
from: tendering, construction, servicing, refurbishing and, at the
end, for demolition.
Kingspan Ltd has joined a £1.2m Technology Strategy Board
match funded initiative called 4BIM led by the construction project
collaboration software specialist 4Projects. The consortium of
internationally renowned industry experts also includes the
University of Northumbria, VINCI Construction, and AEC3.
Based on the centrally developed database, different information
can be retrieved to fulfil a number of expectations and
requirements. Even though the information can be obtained
for different purposes, the root for all information is the same.
Having a core database provides hidden coordination between the
different parties who use the building information model for their
own purpose.
Kingspan have taken the role of manufacturing partner in the
project that will strive to solve a number of key BIM interoperability
issues.
BIM in Kingspan’s History
With the longer term vision being to establish BIM applications
within Kingspan, the business launched a DTI funded Knowledge
Transfer Partnership project back in 2005. With the fulfilment of the
project, Kingspan successfully launched into the BIM environment
though a strategic amalgamation with the University of
Wolverhampton and the purchase of Tekla Structures Software.
Since 2005, Kingspan has heavily invested in developing BIM
capable Tekla Structures software by exploring its capability to
adopt Kingspan prefabrication procedures and its features through
a high end .NET programming platform.

Delivering SFS in BIM
The Kingspan SFS design process is fully BIM capable and meets
current requirements. Kingspan are rolling out the use of the
Tekla software to cover all Kingframe SFS products and will design
using Tekla on request.
The consortium’s collaborative BIM tool is built using the opensource XBIM library built by the University of Northumbria. XBIM
enables the industry standard Industry Foundation Classes (.ifc) file
format to be used for design co-ordination and review, model
analysis, reporting and data transfer, including COBie data capture
and exchange. It works across all browsers and platforms, helping
project teams deliver the UK government’s 2016 challenge of
achieving level 2 BIM.
Kingspan “Infinity” software has been developed to align with the
company’s plans for adoption of BIM Technology. Infinity is
designed to sit on a 3D Platform and components created hold
intelligent BIM data.
This solution will save time, money and energy, reducing wastage
Kingspan sections can now be downloaded for direct incorporation
into your project. Individual 3D sections are available as .ifc files so
that they can be imported into a BIM model. The .ifc files all contain
the necessary data to meet the Clients requirements.
and risks across entire supply chains. It will benefit the
manufacturing, construction, and FM industries ultimately delivering
more value to their clients.
There are significant process improvements that can be realised
by manufacturers once BIM is harnessed. This leads to the
genuine automation of estimating and scheduling and certain
customer services; and clarity on information and responsibilities
for the product during installation, operation, and the end of life
of a building.
As a result of this work and forward planning Kingspan are well
prepared for BIM and are in a position to introduce these systems
as soon as they become available.
Current BIM Benefits
Design data created by the Kingspan Design & Engineering Team
is linked to other Kingspan departments including:
Production;
Estimating;
Scheduling; and
Customer Service
This allows accurate data to be transferred electronically to
the roll formers / cutting stations delivering the product right first
time thus minimising internal waste. This results in reduced overall
costs for the off-site manufacturing process.
