Why Tapered Insulation?

LESS COSTLY TO INSTALL

Tapered insulation achieves the required fall and insulates in ‘one-go’.

Quicker to install

Estimated drying out times for screed to falls systems are in the region of 100 days +, with insulation and waterproofing still to be fixed.

Reduced weight

Standard sand: cement screed weighs approximately 2000kg/m3.

Tapered insulation systems varying dependent upon insulant type;
e.g. Rigid PIR – 32kg/m3,
Stonewool– up to 180kg/m3.

Hence tapered insulation offers a huge benefit in the reduced additional weight added to the structure.

Suitability

Complex fall configurations can easily be achieved with tapered insulation.

Difficult to achieve with timber/firings.

Reduced number of trades on site

Falls, insulation and waterproofing
can all be installed by one trade.

Our Process

Working in conjunction with one of our insulation/waterproofing manufacturing partners, we service the specifier or client. Submit your scalable electronic roof plan, with confirmation of the required U.Value.
Confirm any other performance criteria or your desired insulation type. We have experience designing in the complete range of insulant types.
Our team will liaise with you and develop the scheme design, showing the proposed falls and insulation thicknesses, the thermal performance calculated in accordance with BSENISO 6946:2017 Annex E
