October 21, 2005—Building products leader USG has introduced Securock Brand Roof Board, a roof cover board option for low-slope commercial roofing applications.
The products advanced fiber-reinforced technology provides superior performance benefits compared to traditional fiberglass roof boards, whose face layers can delaminate over time and generate contractor callbacks, says the company.
Securock Roof Board is installed over the roof insulation and under the membrane, supplying protection, separation and support for the membrane. Its uniform composition enhances the strength of the membrane system by ensuring a stronger, more consistent bond, says USG.
Easy to install and handle, the roof board provides outstanding wind uplift performance and offers protection from both moisture and mold.
The new product line has also earned the Green Cross certificate from Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), a national testing company that evaluates manufacturers environmental claims. In addition, the panels are an excellent option in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System applications, says USG.
