The building of a $5M Specialist School in South
Gippsland Victoria exemplifies forward thinking
through their use of high performance Kingspan
Trapzoidal insulated roofing panel systems
(KS1000RW) which have helped meet the
required standards for sustainability and strict
regulations for building.

Project: Leongatha Specialist School Part of a redevelopment area, the new School comprises five buildings designed by architects, Kneeler Design. A smart contemporary suite of buildings, the complex is one of the first schools to incorporate Kingspan’s innovative insulated panel systems for a roof. The roof panel is a pre engineered single fix system with a high performance environmentally susitanble PIR (Polyisocyanurate) core, has good fire performance and ensures consistent lifetime thermal performance. Commenting on the Kingspan panels, project architect Mun Thai says: "We chose Kingspan panels for their R value, environmental sustainability and compatibility within the Colourbond range. Their lightweight form and design required less structure and also allowed for more open planning." Roof Contractor for builder WP Constructions, Doug Mitchell comments: "Kingspan roof panels were a great product to work with, easy to install and looked very good both from outside and underneath. Many people were impressed with the neat flat finish of the interior. It created a very different look to what’s on the market and it offers lots of scope for ceiling design." Photo Gallery:
