Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Use 1/4 in. DensDeck Prime where a thin, rigid, primed cover board is needed over insulation for fully adhered membranes. Maintain board gaps per manufacturer instructions and fasten or adhere per the roof system specification. Step up to 1/2 in. or 5/8 in. where higher board rigidity or parapet backer applications are required.
Gypsum boards are heavy in bundles; use proper lifting technique and support edges to avoid breakage and back strain.
