Insulfoam i vii ii ix xiv and xv. Insulfoam taper is cut from the same high quality eps as our flat insulroof products and meets or exceeds the requirements of astm c578 standard specification for rigid cellular polystyrene thermal insulation. The goal of tapered roof insulation systems is to reduce or eliminate the amount of ponding standing water on the membrane when the roof deck does not provide adequate slope. A tapered roof system is where the slope or pitch of a roof is formed by insulation easily allowing water to flow into a drainage system.

T apered roof system s are also know as tapered roof insulation. The standard tapered panel size is 4 x 4. A properly designed tapered insulation system provides a strong foundation for a sound roofing system. Taper is not recommended for use on level roof decks.

It maintains long term thermal performance dimensional stability and consistent moisture resistance. After the decision has been made to use a tapered roof insulation system designers architects and specifiers must determine which tapered roof insulation system is best. Eps effectively controls the transfer of heat within all roofing systems. Roofers install tapered roof tiles so water doesn t pool on the flat roof surface reducing roof leaks and damage to the upper membrane.

Tapered insulation for low slope roofing when designing a low slope roof system over a substrate that is less than 12 a properly designed tapered insulation system becomes the foundation for a sound roofing system. It is readily available in the two most popular and efficient tapers 1 8 3 18 mm per foot 305 mm 1 and 1 4 6 35 mm per foot 3 18 mm 2.
