Kingspan Insulated Panels North America , a leader in high-performance building materials, today announced eight new profiles in an upgraded product range to its Accent Fin™ line, giving architects and designers more flexibility to add dimension and distinctive visual accents to building facades.
Designed to be compatible with Kingspan’s KS Series, Optimo® and Designwall 2000 and 4000 insulated metal panel range, Accent Fin fastens independently from the panel itself, allowing the fins to be positioned anywhere on the panel and installed vertically, horizontally or even diagonally. Panels can also be installed and the building dried in before the fins are added, minimizing project schedule disruptions.
The new Accent Fin range features eight profiles made of extruded aluminum, each with a distinct shape and depth of projection:
All profiles have a 2.5-inch base width and a maximum length of 24 feet 3 inches. With depths from the 1-inch Steppe and Track to the 5-inch Glide, designers can choose between subtle detailing and more pronounced accents across a building’s exterior.
"This expansion gives architects eight new ways to bring texture and dimension to a facade,” said Karim Muri, Vice President of Marketing Services and Strategy Development at Kingspan Insulated Panels North America. “Each profile offers a different depth of projection, so designers can dial in anything from a subtle reveal to a bold, sculptural accent. Because the fins install independently from the panel, that design flexibility never has to come at the cost of the project schedule."
Accent Fin is available in all colors in the Kingspan color chart, so the fins can match the selected insulated panel system or contrast with it to add visual definition. Custom colors are also available, though additional lead times may apply.
