Crickets

Crickets are wedge-shaped insulation elements positioned behind upstands, penetrations and other roof obstructions to redirect water flow toward drainage outlets. Without them, standing water accumulates behind protrusions - increasing the risk of ponding, membrane fatigue and long-term structural loading.

Used around skylights, rooflights, plant bases, and parapet upstands in tapered insulation schemes.

Integrated within a full tapered scheme, they support long-term roof performance and durability. Contact Gradient today to discover how crickets can be incorporated as part of your flat roof tapered scheme.
