Kingspan Thermataper system installed at The Sands

Kingspan Insulation has supplied its Thermataper TT46 and TT47 LPC/FM tapered roofing systems for five-star beachfront accommodation in Scarborough, The Sands.

100 prestigious apartments have been created, featuring curving, white rendered facades and flat roofs reminiscent of Art Deco resort architecture both in Scarborough and abroad.

The Thermataper Systems were installed beneath a Fatra single-ply waterproof membrane on the roofs of both buildings and on penthouse balcony decking on Lockton House.

The Thermataper range provides a flat roof insulation and drainage solution that is suitable for use with a variety of waterproofing membranes.

Thermataper TT46 LPC/FM is suitable for use under PVC, single-ply, mechanically fixed waterproofing.

TT47 LPC/FM has been designed for use under fully adhered, single-ply waterproofing membranes.

In new builds such as The Sands, Thermataper eliminates the need to incorporate a costly structural fall in the design.

The insulation boards are pre-mitred to specification and can completely eliminate water ponding, one of the biggest dangers to a flat roof's integrity.

The Thermataper range can deliver thermal conductivities low as 0.022 W/m.K, providing maximum efficiency and minimal thickness.

Unlike the screed that would traditionally be used to create a fall, Thermataper is also ultra-light by comparison, offering particular benefits when retrofitting existing buildings where structural loading may be an issue.

Kingspan Insulation offers an extensive range of insulation solutions for both new build and refurbishment projects.

Specifiers, stockists and contractors are supported with a comprehensive and free technical advisory service.
