Kingspan TEK villas are ready for the sun
The Kingspan TEK Building System has been used to construct five luxury villas at the Porth Veor Manor Hotel near Newquay – providing the perfect seaside spot for holiday makers. The Kingspan TEK Building System of structural insulated panels (SIPs) was specified for the project for a variety of reasons, as Mike Burke from contractors Sip Hus, explained: “The design of the units, their location, size and performance requirements meant that the Kingspan TEK Building System was the best choice for the
structural shells. The excellent thermal performance of the panels allowed us to maximise the internal spaces within the given footprint without having to compromise on thermal efficiency.”

The UK’s most versatile, reinforcement mesh option, available in a sheet size of 2400 x 700 x 0.40. The bead and mesh range from Simpson Strong-Tie is going from strength to strength, increasing in popularity as builders opt for a solution to suit a wider variety of applications. The DML is easy to install and comfortably capable for many internal and external purposes. UK marketing manager, Kyle Perry explains: “Our DML is something of a fan favourite; used as a general purpose reinforcement mesh, helping prevent cracking occur, when different materials meet. We can also provide this galvanised for internal use or stainless steel to fight those unforgiving weather conditions externally. Made in the UK at our head office and manufacturing facility in Tamworth, it’s a marvel and a joy to watch the efficiency these are being made with by our very skilled team – making the DML an easy fit for most situations. The rate we’re making them, we will be producing enough DML next year to go from our head office to Edinburgh, Scotland!’’

The Lower Mill Estate, a development of sustainable holiday homes in the Cotswolds, is offering holiday homemakers the best in bespoke, energy efficient properties with the help of the Kingspan TEK Building System. The diverse selection of residential properties have benefited from the Kingspan TEK Building System’s scope for individual design and off-site construction, which has improved construction efficiency. The system, which comprises a high- performance insulation core sandwiched
between two layers of OSB/3, was selected as it allowed a high level of design flexibility and exceptional out-of-the-box fabric performance, as well as creating minimal site waste as kits are designed and cut off-site.
