Required Thickness Coverboard Roof

Coated fiberglass facer ideal for fully adhered systems provides a broader compatibility and higher performance with roofing adhesives.

Required thickness coverboard roof.

Tested in accordance with astm e84 its surface burning characteristics are flame spread 0 and smoke developed 0. Flame spread index of 75 and smoke development 450 meet code requirements for foam plastic roof insulation. Meets the requirements of astm c 1177. Securock products are available in thicknesses of 3 8 and 5 8.

The boards are manufactured in standard sizes of 4 feet by 8 feet and an average thickness of 3 8 inch. Codes exempt foam plastic insulation when used in fm 4450 or ul 1256. 5 8 thickness meets the requirements of type x per astm c 1177. The material is durable and provides superior impact and puncture resistance.

Physical properties listed above are presented as typical average values as determined by accepted astm test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing. The cover board also serves as a substrate for a vapor retarder in this application. Dens deck provides an excellent substrate for all types of conventional low slope roofing membranes particularly in fully adhered assemblies. This significantly increases the time required to melt the insulation which adds fuel to the flames.

It provides exceptional bond and low absorption in adhered systems and offers sustainable design for all types of roofing systems including single ply fluid applied built up spray foam metal and modified bitumen roofing. Densdeck roof boards are fm tested and approved as the only 1 2 gypsum product to meet the calorimeter requirements for conventionally insulated decks.
