BENCHMARK is Kingspan's selection of architectural façade systems. It uses the KarrierPanel system as a base to be combined with a variety of easy to install rainscreen façade systems. These fully warranted systems are all sourced by BENCHMARK to ensure proper integration and project management.
Rainscreen Façade - ACM and MCM façade systems
BENCHMARK’s ACM and MCM façade systems provide a striking finish that gives buildings a modern stylized appearance that is virtually maintenance-free.
- ACM is a lightweight composite material, consisting of two aluminum cover sheets and a fire-rated core. It is a simple and versatile product that delivers a weather-resistant, unbreakable and shock resistant façade that is very easy to install. It is available in a wide range of colors.
- MCM (Metal Composite Material) consists of two metal cover sheets and a fire-rated core. The commonly used metals are Zinc, Stainless Steel and Copper, though other specialty metals are also available. It comes in a nearly limitless array of colors, finishes, reveals, and sizes.
Base Panel - KarrierPanel
The Kingspan KarrierPanel system is a steel-faced insulated metal panel and a fully engineered rail, designed to perform in the harshest of conditions. Insulated metal panels provide a single component air, vapor, and water barrier.
