Tapered Slope Polyiso Insulation System (Flat Roofs)

The Flat-Roof Fix: Built-In Slope. Better Drainage.

Flat roofs aren’t designed to hold water. When ponding occurs, it accelerates membrane breakdown, increases leak potential, and shortens system life. Over time, standing water leads to trapped moisture, insulation decay, and costly repairs.

The Tapered Slope Polyiso Insulation System by Ready Nation Contractors provides a long-term solution. We design and install custom tapered insulation systems that create slope, direct water to drains and gutters, and boost your roof’s energy efficiency. By improving drainage and adding insulation value (R-value), this system transforms flat roofs into stronger, longer-lasting, and more energy-conscious structures.

Our goal is simple: stop water from lingering and give every property owner confidence in the performance of their roof.

How does tapered insulation prevent ponding water?

Tapered insulation is installed in a gradual slope pattern that directs water toward drains, scuppers, or gutters. By eliminating flat areas where water can collect, it helps prevent leaks, membrane stress, and premature roof failure.

Yes. Tapered Polyiso insulation can be retrofitted over an existing flat roof during restoration or replacement. Our team designs each layout to match your current roof structure while meeting code requirements for slope and drainage.

Absolutely. Polyiso insulation offers one of the highest R-values per inch of any roof insulation. It helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduces HVAC workload, and lowers long-term energy costs.
