HOW CAN YOU SAVE MONEY AND INCREASE R-VALUE
CARPENTER CO. FLUTE FILLERS TO THE RESCUE
Carpenter Co. flute fillers are designed to increase the R-value of your roofing system while saving you money. Our flute fillers allow EPS, ISO and other roofing insulations to be used at lower thicknesses by eliminating the maximum flute spanability requirements. Carpenter Co. flute fillers allow you to fill the void in your roof system with the best insulating material, EPS, that you can find in terms of dollar cost per supplied R-value. Whether you use Carpenter Co.'s square or tapered flute fillers, you can retain your designed R-value at lower overall roofing costs.
Factor flute fillers into your next roof design and see what they can do for you.
EPS should not come in contact with chimneys, heater vents, steam pipes or other surfaces where temperatures exceed 150 (degrees F). It is not recommended for unballasted applications where sustained roof temperatures exceed 165 (F) or intermittent temperatures exceed 180 (F). Overlayment board such, as wood fiberboard or perlite, must protect EPS before the direct mopping of hot asphalt or torching of modified bitumen. Care should be taken when using solvents, cleaners, cements, adhesives, sealers and hot air welders on or around EPS insulation.
