The FOAMGLAS® TAPERED roof insulation system is a unique solution from Owens Corning FOAMGLAS® that addresses two critical aspects of construction and renovation projects: insulation and water drainage.
FOAMGLAS® TAPERED: a dual-purpose solution
FOAMGLAS® TAPERED is a premium system that combines thermal insulation and water evacuation.
The insulation layer, which varies in thickness according to a selected gradient, makes it possible either to dispense with a screed-to-fall in case of new constructions, or increase inadequate falls when roofs are refurbished.
It's the ideal choice for roofs and floors that require both robust insulation and assured water drainage.
Versatility of FOAMGLAS® TAPERED insulation
Our FOAMGLAS® TAPERED roof insulation system is versatile and can be used under various flat roof finishes. Whether you’re dealing with a standard flat roof, a green roof, a solar roof, a parking roof, or a blue roof, FOAMGLAS® TAPERED offers a comprehensive solution. It’s also suitable for floor insulation in areas where drainage is necessary, such as shower rooms or complex structures like industrial kitchens.
FOR INSULATION AND WATER Evacuation
Efficient water evacuation with FOAMGLAS® TAPERED
The most efficient way to ensure proper water evacuation is to incorporate it directly into the insulation, rather than the building structure. Our team of experts calculates the optimal slope for your surface, considering all specifications of your project. The slopes are integrated into the FOAMGLAS® TAPERED insulation layer, eliminating the need to incorporate them into the building structure.
