Tapered Insulation Services by Lampson Roofing LLC
What Is Tapered Insulation?
Lampson Roofing LLC offers expert solutions for tapered insulation, a key component in commercial and flat roofing systems designed to optimize drainage and enhance thermal performance. Unlike traditional flat insulation boards, tapered insulation is custom-fabricated with a gradual slope that directs water flow toward drains, scuppers, or gutters. This wedge-shaped design is especially crucial on flat or low-slope roofs, where water can otherwise pond and potentially lead to leaks, material degradation, or structural damage.

Our professionals assess the specific needs of your building and recommend tapered insulation systems based on slope requirements, roof layout, and drainage points. We ensure that each project receives a tailored insulation solution to maximize efficiency, minimize risk, and promote long-term roof performance.
The Benefits of Tapered Insulation
Tapered insulation offers several significant advantages for both new roofing projects and roof replacements. By providing a built-in slope, it dramatically reduces or eliminates the potential for standing water. This not only lowers the risk of leaks but also extends the life of the roofing materials, as continual moisture exposure is a primary cause of premature roof failure. Additionally, the insulation’s design helps to achieve energy efficiency by enhancing the roof’s thermal resistance, reducing heat transfer, and helping control energy costs throughout the year.
Our tapered insulation systems are manufactured using high-performance materials like polyisocyanurate or extruded polystyrene, which provide long-lasting thermal protection and stable compressive strength. With careful design and installation, your roofing system will benefit from improved drainage, better insulation values, and increased overall durability.
Custom Design and Precision Installation
At Lampson Roofing LLC, we approach every tapered insulation project with precision and attention to detail. Our team utilizes advanced design tools and survey data to calculate the appropriate slopes and layout for your roof structure. This ensures that water is efficiently directed to all designated drainage points, minimizing the risk of ponding or overflow scenarios.
Our experienced installers lay the insulation in a systematic pattern, adhering to manufacturer guidelines and industry standards for attachment and vapor barrier integration. Throughout the process, we coordinate with other trades to minimize disruptions and deliver a seamless roofing system that performs to its full potential.
Tapered Insulation for Roof Upgrades and Remodels
For existing buildings facing persistent drainage problems or requiring an energy upgrade, tapered insulation is an ideal solution during roof replacement or renovation. Our team can incorporate custom tapered insulation layers into your new or existing flat roof, correct slope issues from previous installations and enhance performance. Investing in a tapered insulation system during a roof upgrade can increase your roof’s service life, reduce maintenance costs, and help you meet local building codes for energy efficiency and water management.
