Introduction Case
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.
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.

Introduction & 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
advice from Kingspan Technical Department.

Technical System
Manual 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 Both systems achieve early weather protection of the

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

Manual 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.

Continuing our progress in offering better solutions to the construction industry, Kingspan have
developed a new rainscreen support system – KingPin®. (Patent applied for)

Function
Maintenance-free with durability up to 60 years.
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.
