United Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge, 1/2 in. x 6 in. x 144 LF Bundle, Tan
United Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge provides positive slope on flat roof systems, promoting proper drainage and keeping ponding water off the surface. It also creates a smooth transition from tapered insulations to roof level. This Tan wood-fibered board comes as a bundle covering 144 linear feet at 1/2 in. x 6 in.
Key Features:
- Positive Roof Slope: Used to provide positive slope on flat roof systems for proper drainage.
- Prevents Ponding: Helps keep ponding water off the roof surface.
- Smooth Transitions: Provides a smooth transition from tapered insulations to roof level.
- Re-Roofing Ready: Wood fiberboard is often chosen for re-roofing and separates the old roof from the new.
- Dimensionally Stable: Manufactured to be dimensionally stable.
- Recyclable Material: Environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.
- System Compatibility: Works well with EPDM bonding adhesive and modified roofing.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Tapered edge is the detail that makes low-slope drainage work: run it along perimeter edges and insulation transitions so water is directed to drains or scuppers instead of ponding. Wood fiberboard is the economical, dimensionally stable choice for re-roofing overlays. Specify the thickness (1/2 in. here) to match your insulation taper; perlite is available when a different board stock is required.
Follow the roofing membrane manufacturer's attachment requirements when installing over tapered edge, and use proper lifting and fall protection practices on flat roofs.
Order United Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge to build proper slope and eliminate ponding on your flat roof.
