Kingspan Greenguard GG300
(7 Products)Kingspan GreenGuard GG300 is a rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation board engineered specifically for use in protected membrane flat roofs and green roof systems. This product serves as a dual-function solution, offering superior thermal insulation while simultaneously protecting the waterproofing membrane beneath the roof surface. The closed-cell structure resists water vapour and minimises water absorption, preserving its performance even in damp or wet conditions. The board is designed to withstand challenging conditions, including freeze/thaw cycling, ensuring long-term durability in exposed environments.

What Is Kingspan GreenGuard GG300?
Kingspan GreenGuard GG300 is a rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation board with a closed-cell structure that provides exceptional thermal insulation and moisture resistance. Manufactured to precise standards, it features a thickness range suited to specialist applications.
The GG300 is used in inverted roofs, basements, car park decks, and industrial flooring, where its compressive strength of 300 kPa excels under heavy-duty conditions. The term kPa stands for kilopascal, a unit of pressure measurement in the metric system. In this context, a compressive strength of 300 kPa means that the material can withstand a load of 300 kilonewtons per square metre without deforming beyond 10% of its thickness.
In terms of their composition, the boards are manufactured with a blowing agent with zero ozone depletion and low global warming potential, making them an environmentally conscious choice. With dimensions of 1250mm x 600mm, GG300 boards are lightweight, easy to install, and highly durable, ensuring long-term reliability in challenging environments.

Frequently Asked Kingspan Greenguard GG300 Questions
What Is The Fire Performance of Kingspan GreenGuard GG300?
The fire performance of insulation materials is assessed using the Euroclass rating system, which evaluates the reaction of materials to fire. Kingspan GreenGuard GG300, under System 4 AVCP (Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance), is classified with a Euroclass rating of F. This rating indicates that the material does not meet the fire performance criteria of higher Euroclasses but is still suitable for specific applications where fire resistance is not a critical requirement.
What Is The Weight-Bearing Capacity Of Kingspan GreenGuard GG300?
With a compressive strength of 300 kPa, Kingspan GreenGuard GG300 can bear substantial loads without deforming. This makes it suitable for applications such as car park decks, industrial floors, and areas subjected to heavy traffic or machinery.
