Tapered Roofing

Pembridge_meeting_people (9)
Kingspan Thermataper eliminates the need for a structural fall and offers a number of practical advantages to both specifiers and installers. The lightweight boards are easy to handle and are fitted with a dry installation process. This can greatly reduce project timescales when compared with wet approaches such as screed to fall which can take 195 days, or more, to dry.

In refurbishment applications, they can typically be installed above the existing roof surface (with a waterproof membrane), avoiding the time–consuming process of stripping the existing roof.
 

Tapered Roofing Service

Our tapered roofing service is your tried, tested and trusted partner for all things to do with tapered roof insulation. We are there for you, right from specification through to the build, with technical expertise you can count on. This ensures that the most cost effective solution for any problem is identified and that the end result is a roof which meets your specification for rainwater run-off and insulation requirements. And, as we also make all of the boards ourselves and design the system, we are there throughout the process ensuring quality, consistency and reliability.
 
During the early stages of your construction, our team is ready to provide you with a full quotation for your tapered roofing scheme within 48 hours. All you have to do is send us your roof plan and we’ll do the rest. Our quotations:
  • Include product information
  • Describe maximum thicknesses
  • Are designed to meet the required U-value
  • Detail roofing area and bonding area
  • Are valid for 90 days
Our tapered roofing service does not just end here. Our approach is to ensure we are available to help and advise architects and roofing contractors throughout the process, from initial thoughts through to installation. This includes:
  • Pre-contract exploratory meeting
  • On-site survey for refurbishment work
  • On-site pre-installation survey for new build work
  • Final phase check

Thickness Savings

With a thermal conductivity of just 0.018 W/m.K, the Kingspan Kooltherm packer board helps to minimise the overall system thickness required to achieve a desired U–value. 

Typical thickness savings of 20 - 40 mm could be achieved, dependent on the individual scheme and build-up, when compared with a full Polyisocyanurate (PIR) system.

The lightweight boards are easy to handle and are fitted with a dry installation process. This can greatly reduce project timescales when compared with wet approaches such as screed to fall which can take 195 days, or more, to dry. In refurbishment applications, they can typically be installed above the existing roof surface (with a waterproof membrane), avoiding the time–consuming process of stripping the existing roof.

Flat roof drainage: Roofing best practice for the 21st century

We examined the cost analysis of the three standard options in a warm flat roof application across three different case studies of non-residential new builds, and discovered that using a tapered insulation system to achieve a U-value of 0.16 W/m²·K could be up to 26.9% cheaper than the alternative methods.
