Insulating a Flat Roof With Tapered Insulation

After a lot of work organising and ordering the tapered insulation from Kingspan, it finally got delivered to site.

Not only are we insulating this old felt roof, but we are also reversing the way the water drains on the roof; one side of the roof is going to be built up so that all the water drains in the opposite direction. In the attached photos you can see we’ve started to set up some of the insulation, and we’re working out just how this jigsaw puzzle goes together.

It’s quite amazing just how much space all this insulation takes up. We have had to leave half the insulation down on the ground, so that we have enough working space on the roof.
