Important update regarding Kingspan Kooltherm K15

Written by Phil Thomas | Feb 18, 2022 4:21:00 PM

With effect from 18th February 2022, LABC Warranty no longer accepts the use of Kingspan Kooltherm K15 on any of our structural warranty schemes until the accreditation is reinstated.

For any new scheme registered with LABC Warranty or any new plots commencing after this date, alternative products which have appropriate and current third party product conformity certification must be used.

Registered sites which are currently under construction with these insulation boards installed, or are in the process of being installed, should replace these with alternative products where practical to do so. Where it is not practical to do so, or for new plots which are part of an existing block, clients should seek urgent guidance from their risk management surveyor.

If your project has Kooltherm K15 boards installed we will require evidence that they were manufactured before 31st July 2021 and not covered by the DOP dated 2nd August 2021.

Please be assured that our surveyors will work with you to resolve this unfortunate situation. If you have any concerns, please contact your warranty surveyor.
