IKO IKOTherm CoverShield Polyiso HD Cover Board, 0.5 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft.
IKO IKOTherm CoverShield is a rigid, high-density polyisocyanurate cover board with a closed-cell foam core bonded on each side to coated glass fiber facers. Its high compressive strength and dimensional stability make it a solid choice for recover applications where a cover board is required. Each piece measures 0.5 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. in off white.
Key Features:
- High compressive strength: Much higher compressive strength than conventional polyiso roof insulations.
- High thermal value: Rigid polyisocyanurate foam with high thermal properties.
- Glass fiber facers: Closed-cell foam core bonded on each side to coated glass fiber facers.
- Dimensionally stable: Dimensionally stable board that can be sized with ease.
- Recover ready: Designed as a cover board for recover applications.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A high-density polyiso cover board like CoverShield protects the membrane from traffic and uplift while adding R-value, and its compressive strength makes it the go-to layer in recover assemblies. Butt joints tightly and stagger board seams to avoid lumping. At 0.5 in. it suits overlays where height at edge terminations is limited; step up thickness where detail height allows.
Handle large boards carefully on windy rooftops, and follow the manufacturer's fastening pattern and local code requirements for cover board attachment.
Order IKO IKOTherm CoverShield polyiso HD cover board for high-strength protection on your next roof recover.
