Quality and development
Commitment to quality
Maintaining the highest quality standards is a core principle at Huurre, embedded at every level of the company.
We carry out strict quality control across all our products and production processes. In sandwich panel manufacturing, this involves a variety of tests, including structural assessments, core density measurements, thermal conductivity evaluations, dimensional stability checks, and water absorption tests, among others.

Innovation and research
Huurre sees innovation as a comprehensive and transversal process of constant improvement, not only of its products but also of its production processes and team management.
This approach has led us to develop more efficient manufacturing techniques and adopt a flexible production system that helps us shorten delivery times, optimize costs, and achieve the best certifications and quality guarantees for our products.
Quadcore Core
QuadCore® is Huurre’s innovative technology featuring a self-formulated insulation core with a unique grey microcell structure, providing exceptional thermal and fire performance for sandwich panels.
The secret lies in the grey matter…
The exclusive grey microcell structure of the QuadCore insulation core is the key to its outstanding thermal insulation capabilities, boasting a thermal conductivity of just 0.019 W/m.K. It also offers high fire resistance ratings, environmental sustainability, and long-lasting durability in use.

The QuadCore 2.0 insulation has great thermal performance, with an aged thermal conductivity of only 0.019W/mK | The QuadCore 2.0 offers excellent fire performance, ensuring enhanced protection in the event of a fire. | Using Huurre’s HI-QuadCore 2.0 range of panels helps minimize operational energy losses and decrease transport emissions, contributing to a more sustainable environment. | By resisting moisture absorption, the panel maintains its performance over time, ensuring exceptional durability. |
Fire performance
At Huurre, we are committed to delivering innovative, high-performance insulated panel systems that not only enhance construction efficiency but also undergo rigorous fire testing by external insurers, demonstrating proven fire performance.
What determines the fire performance of our construction systems?
The most reliable method for assessing fire performance is through large-scale system tests, where complete assemblies of walls, roofs, ceilings, or internal partitions are evaluated.
For example, our FM Approvals-certified insulated panels are tested to meet the stringent standards of large-scale fire system tests within the insurance sector.
These certifications provide objective third-party validation, supported by regular factory surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
The independent certification organisation takes samples of our insulated panels directly from our production facilities and sends them to their laboratories for testing, verifying the consistency of the certification. Additionally, these audits evaluate change control, formulations, production parameters, labeling, and internal controls to maintain high standards.
Compliance compromise
At Huurre, we are dedicated to conducting all tests and trials—whether related to fire performance or other aspects of our products—with a robust and consistent approach to ensure the integrity of the information we provide about our products.
We also guarantee that the safe use of our products in future buildings is supported by accurate marketing and expert technical advice. This Compliance Commitment rests on three fundamental pillars:
- Honesty, Integrity and Compliance
Our updated Code of Conduct, which is implemented across all Kingspan companies, sets clear expectations for ethical business communication and compliance to legal standards. - Product Compliance
Under the guidance of our Kingspan Group Compliance Director, we have established a Compliance Management programme in line with ISO 37301 standards, which is audited both internally by our Internal Audit Group and externally by a specialized international agency. - Digital Traceability
Our Digital Transformation programme ensures the accuracy and traceability of product information, covering regulatory compliance, certifications, and mechanical performance.
These pillars strengthen our commitment to integrity and transparency, ensuring that our products uphold the highest standards of quality and safety.
