If the laminated beams are sloping, the tapered insulation can be a standard flat board instead, giving greater insulation thickness.

The ‘standard’ highly insulated roof with a single ply membrane poorly attached to insulation has proven to have many drawbacks. These soft roof designs are vulnerable to damage, difficult to trace and repair faults and have very limited design flexibility.
Whereas Permadeck, bonded to its DryPly™ deck, can easily withstand impact & abrasion and have anything designed onto it or into it: gulleys, rooflights, vents, micro generation, flues, air con etc.

k fastenings on 50mm insulation on vapour barrier on metal deck to falls or tapered insulation.
Example1: Metal deck Eco Roof inc thermal break & Permadeck solid roof
Ideal where a solid roof is required. Can be walked on, can incorporate gulleys within the top insulation, easy fix for rooflights, water housings, parapet details, micro generation mounts, ventilators, aircon, heat pumps etc.
Example2: Timber deck Eco Roof
18mm ply with countersunk fixings into lower deck. 50mm or greater insulation on
vapour barrier on 18mm sheathing ply on firring on joists with ~120mm insul-
Permadeck on DryPly with trim to o/s face.
Roofs over high high humidity areas such as bathrooms, laundry areas, swimming pools should have an additional vapour barrier below the joists. Downlights and wiring should not penetrate this layer.
