Tapered Insulation

Tapered Insulation is a process for creating a slope or fall on a flat roof. It is essential when designing a flat roof that a fall is included as a way of allowing the water to run off of the roof.

Tapered Insulation explained

Tapered Insulation ensures the thermal performance and falls within the roof are captured at the design stage and is a very cost effective and efficient method for managing these areas of a flat roof.

Our Technical Services Team are on hand to support you with project-specific tapered insulation designs,  free u value calculations and condensation risk analysis.
