FOAMGLAS® TAPERED - "Cut to falls" Insulation System
When it’s time to start a new construction project or renovate an existing one, ask yourself the question. “Will the roof slope ensure efficient rainwater drainage”? Rainwater drainage can be a challenge for any building project. Here at Owens Corning FOAMGLAS®, we have a tried and tested solution.
The easiest way to ensure efficient rainwater drainage on a warm roof; is to have a slope upon the top surface of the insulation, and not the roof structure. There is no need for a screed to falls. Taking all of your specifications into account; our team of product experts will help you design the best drainage configuration for your roof.
The slopes are upon the FOAMGLAS® TAPERED insulation. There is no need to design and build a sloping roof structure. The result... Install the insulation and you quickly have high quality thermal performance and efficient and reliable rainwater drainage.

FOAMGLAS® TAPERED insulation is easy to install. Each 60cm x 45cm Tapered insulation block is shown upon the installation drawing. This block size means less site cutting is required, greatly reducing installation time and waste offcuts.
Working with FOAMGLAS® TAPERED insulation will save you both time and material. There is no longer the need for a screed to falls. It is eliminated; reducing weight, reducing install time; and completely removing the screed materials and drying time.
Unlike alternative solutions, the gradient of FOAMGLAS® TAPERED can be reduced. That’s because FOAMGLAS® insulation has the built-in safety of being 100% watertight, preventing leaks even in case of ponding water. The result? Less total thickness and less material required.
You will be pleased to hear that FOAMGLAS® TAPERED Insulation is highly durable providing best long-term value with minimal maintenance costs.
