20mm Kingspan AlphaCore Pad - Silica-Based Insulation Panel - 600mm x 1000mm

20mm Kingspan AlphaCore Pad – Silica‑Based Insulation Panel - 600mm x 1000mm

20mm Kingspan AlphaCore Pad is a premium microporous silica‑based insulation panel designed for rainscreen façades and structural soffits where minimal construction depth, high thermal performance, and excellent fire behaviour are required. The board features a water‑repellent pure silica core encased in a glass‑fibre fabric, delivering a slim, robust, and fire‑safe insulation solution for modern façade systems. By combining a hydrophobic core with high-grade glass fibre fabric, it serves as a premium solution for projects where space is at a premium and fire safety is paramount.

AlphaCore Pad is selected when designers need:

• high thermal performance in very thin façade zones,
• non‑combustible insulation for rainscreen systems,
• robust soffit insulation with high compressive strength,
• moisture‑resistant performance in exposed environments,
• stable, inorganic insulation with long‑term reliability.
• It provides a premium, slim insulation solution for demanding façade and soffit applications.

CHARACTERISTICS

• High thermal performance — λD 0.020 W/mK, enabling thin‑profile façade designs.
• Microporous silica core — inorganic, stable, and water‑repellent.
• Euroclass A2‑s1,d0 — excellent reaction‑to‑fire performance for façade and soffit applications.
• Water‑repellent core — long‑term partial immersion absorption Wlp ≤ 0.95 kg/m.
• High compressive strength — ≥ 75 kPa, suitable for structural soffits.
• Dimensional stability — ≤ 0.5 % movement under heat and humidity.
• Slim construction depth — ideal for projects with boundary restrictions or limited cavity space.

• Rainscreen façades
• Structural ceilings / soffits
• Refurbishment projects
• Depth‑restricted façades
• Layered systems with K‑Roc Rainscreen Slab for enhanced U‑value performance.
