Kingspan Insulated Panels North America

A Seamless Expansion for Browns Shoes with Kingspan IMPs Browns Shoes, one of Canada's premier footwear chains, recently expanded its Quebec distribution center by 36,000 square feet, boosting the facility to 225,000 square feet. Spearheaded by GKC Architecture & Design, the project focused on a seamless design blend while meeting stringent material guidelines. Key to this success? Kingspan’s insulated metal panels (IMPs). Not only did the panels meet aesthetic goals, but they also streamlined the building process, with just one installer required. Kingspan KarrierPanel, complete with Dri-Design’s perforated imaging, recreated the artistic pattern of the original structure, achieving a cohesive look. The expansion, completed in summer 2024, ensures Browns Shoes can meet customer demand with a modern, thermally efficient space – a win for growth and design! ??

Mix it up! ??? Mixed-use developments are gaining in popularity. Also referred to as live-work-play developments, mixed-use projects offer a blend of residential, commercial, retail and recreational spaces. Demand for more urban living is one of the factors fueling the growth of these developments. According to a analysis of Yardi Matrix data, the number of apartments located in live-work-play buildings quadrupled in a 10-year span, with 43,700 completed in 2021 compared to 10,000 in 2012. Today, architects and designers of these live-work-play developments are selecting building materials using key criteria like thermal performance, design flexibility and ease of installation. Insulated metal panels deliver on these criteria and more. The projects highlighted below demonstrate how mixed-use developments benefit from high-performing Kingspan insulated metal panels.
