Tapered Roof Insulation Systems (Removed)

Ponding water on a low-sloped roof can greatly reduce the performance and lifespan of the roof membrane. Tapered roof insulation systems reduce or eliminate ponding water when a roof deck does not provide adequate slope. This course describes the benefits of tapered polyisocyanurate insulation and discusses the profiles, panel repeats, and design options available. Also addressed are cricket installation guidelines, tapered roof system average R-values, and specification tips.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Describe the features and benefits of tapered polyisocyanurate insulation.
• Define key terms in designing a tapered roof insulation system, including profiles, slopes, and repeats.
• Identify design parameters to include in a specification and explain how to calculate system average R-values.
• Compare and contrast the different types of tapered roof insulation system designs.
• Discuss what a cricket is, when to use it, and common problems to avoid.
