EcoTherm® has extended its Eco-Taper range of polyisocyanurate (PIR) thermal insulation for tapered roofing schemes even further following the launch of pre mitred hips and valleys having launched 150-170mm (G) and 170-190mm (H) boards just a few months ago.
Working in conjunction with its design partners Building Innovation; the new system offers the following benefits:
-
Reduces cutting on site
-
Saves money, time and waste
-
Factory cut for superior finish
As always, the boards can be specified for fully bonded single ply membrane systems, or torch-on, roll and pour, asphalt and single ply bituminous systems.
Like all Eco-Taper insulation, the new pre-cut options are 1,200mm x 1,200mm in size, and have a lightweight PIR foam core that combines high strength-to-weight ratio with excellent thermal performance. Eco-Taper meets the thermal requirements of UK Building Regulations and is Zero ODP. Tapered or cut-to-fall insulation board is a highly efficient solution for creating better slopes on ‘flat’ roofs to minimise the problem of water ponding on the surface, which may lead to rapid deterioration of the waterproofing membrane and add additional weight to the structure. Tapered insulation both insulates and provides the necessary falls with one trade, so minimising the number of trades on site and assisting ‘fast-track’ construction.
