A Word from the Customer
I have worked with KORE for many years, using their external wall insulation and insulated foundation system on many projects with great success.
I first used KORE’s tapered flat roof insulation on this project due to the speed, money savings, great customer service and attention to detail in design. KORE have a great technical team who helped every step of the way, and now I’ve used the flat roof system on three more home extensions.
Using KORE’s EPS in the floor, wall and roof has saved us a lot of money, but more importantly we have trust in the product and what it can do. Great company to deal with, and look forward to working with them more in the future.
About The Project
This home extension and renovation project is currently underway in Ardmahon, Douglas, Co. Cork.
A flat roof, light steel frame extension of 40 square metres is being constructed using KORE’s tapered flat roof insulation, external wall insulation and insulated foundation system.
This project is delivered by Titan Construction.
The KORE Bespoke Tapered Flat Roof
Titan Construction chose KORE’s tapered flat roof insulation solution for a flat roof home extension project that reduced the cost and timing of the build, while draining water effectively.
This light steel frame construction is a 40 square metre extension to a 1950’s home, choosing a flat roof for aesthetics, without compromising on quality or sustainability.
KORE’s tapered flat roof was bespoke made using EPS70 Silver for the required gradient of the roof, to eliminate water ponding and allow appropriate water channeling to drainage outlets. 1200 x 1200mm sheets of KORE EPS70 Silver were each tapered to create a slope, with an overall volume of ~10m3. Using KORE’s tapered flat roof insulation instead of a structural fall reduced the cost and time of the overall roof construction, with the tapered sheets being directly placed on a 0 degree flat roof and no additional timber fittings required.
Additional technical information can be found in some of the detailed flat roof plans accompanied below. In addition, the customer chose KORE External Wall Insulation and the KORE Insulated Foundation System, making this extension a low energy, high-performance building using EPS to wrap the entire envelope.
