TAPERED DESIGN SERVICES
What is Tapered Design Services?
Tapered Design Services can help you design an mechanically sound,
economically feasible roof for your next project.
Tapered ISO 95+ provides an effective and economical solution where
substrate slope will not permit efficient drainage. When properly
installed, it can extend the life of the roof assembly by
eliminating problems associated with ponded water. Tapered ISO 95+
is available in slopes from 1/16” to 1/2” per foot. Firestone
provides a variety of technical support services for the
installation of tapered insulation through the C-CAP Tapered
Engineering Design Department. Call the Tapered Services
Department today for help with your next roofing project!

Why Use Tapered ISO?
- Ponding water
following heavy precipitation can cause structural roof
collapse, sometimes with fatalities.
- Standing water
promotes growth of fungi, creating breeding places for insects
and foul odors.
- Standing water
promotes vegetation growth. Plant roots can penetrate the
membrane and spread into insulation making the system no longer
water tight.
- Exposure to water
slowly degrades some contact adhesives used in electrometric
sheet lap seams.
- Standing water can
penetrate fish mouths, skips, curled edges and other seam
defects.
- Ponding promotes
the deposit of sediment, with several negative effects:
- Economically,
it can rise cooling energy costs by reducing roof surface
heat reflection
- Esthetically,
it spoils the roofs appearance.
