Benefits of a Rigid Cover Board in Commercial Roofing Systems
Sponsored by Georgia-Pacific Building Products
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the evolution of roofing cover boards from the 1970s to present day, particularly in light of the use of single-ply membranes.
- Explain how the forces of nature (i.e., fire, wind uplift, moisture, hail/puncture, foot traffic, and sound) affect roof function and durability of different types of roof cover boards.
- Summarize the advantages related to the construction process and cost benefits when including a cover board in all types of commercial roof assembly design.
- Identify the roof system types, specialty systems (i.e., photovoltaic and vegetative roofs), and attachment options that can be utilized specifically with glass mat gypsum cover boards.
