How is a tapered insulation scheme designed?

A tapered insulation scheme is designed around the geometry and drainage requirements of the individual roof.

The design process should consider factors such as:

  • Roof dimensions and geometry
  • Drainage outlets and gutters
  • Existing falls and backfalls
  • Rooflights and other obstructions
  • Required insulation performance
  • The structural deck
  • Waterproofing system
  • Required roof build-up
  • Upstands and perimeter details
