- Commercial Roof Cover Board: Rigid gypsum roof board for use as a cover board, thermal barrier, or substrate board in low-slope roof systems.
- Durable Glass-Mat Faced Construction: Fiberglass mats bonded to a high-density gypsum core help resist job-site damage and deterioration versus paper-faced boards.
- Enhanced Puncture & Foot-Traffic Resistance: Helps protect roofing assemblies from maintenance traffic and dropped tools.
- Fire Performance: Noncombustible; tested to ASTM E84 with 0 flame spread and 0 smoke developed.
- Standard Sheet Size: 4 ft. x 8 ft. panel format for common commercial roofing layouts.
