Tapered/Expanded Polystyrene Roof Insulation

TAPERED ROOF INSULATION

Designed to provide positive drainage of water. The added thickness to produce slope to drain is a positive factor in today’s energy conscious society.
The roof consists of pre-designed pieces of expanded polystyrene having a slope of 1/8 , 3/16 or 1/4 per foot as required.
This product can be supplied in various densities. (See product description or physical properties chart).
Each piece is labeled as it is manufactured to coincide with the actual shop drawing, thus eliminating guess-work by the installers as to the placement of the insulation.
Saddles and crickets are available as required.
