What it is

Product overview

QuadCore KarrierPanel is Kingspan’s insulated universal barrier-wall panel used behind compatible façade systems. Kingspan pairs the panel with its engineered KarrierRail so loads from the selected noncombustible façade can be transferred to the supporting structure.

The record is relevant where a project is evaluating a coordinated insulated barrier wall, rainscreen or masonry-facing support approach. Façade weight, rails, attachment, loads, fire compliance, interfaces, and the exact approved assembly remain project-specific.
