WHAT IS A TAPERED ROOFING SYSTEM?

 

A ‘tapered’ roof system or ‘cut to falls’ insultation is where the slope or ‘pitch’ is formed from lightweight insulation materials. Integrating tapered insulation into a flat roof covers two of the main considerations of any roof refurbishment project, thermal performance, and drainage.

 

BENEFITS OF A TAPERED ROOFING SYSTEM:

 

  • Reduced costs and installation time – It is quicker to install than a roofing system that would require a layer of screed on top, using screeds can also introduce moisture and take a long time to set.

    •  

  • Lightweight – The weight of tapered insulation is significantly lighter than that of screeds, offering a benefit of reducing additional weight on structures.

    •  

  • Increases the longevity of roofs – When a flat roof does not have sufficient falls a variety of issues can arise, in particular holding water which can lead to structural defects of the roof deck, condensation and unwanted vegetative growth on the roof.

    •  

  • Reliable drainage

    •  

    Significantly reduces ponding

     

  • Help provide leak protection

    •
