Prime Roof Boards Help Roofing Membranes Perform Better
Durable cover board from Georgia-Pacific Gypsum out performs high-density ISO in puncture and hail testing.
Third-party testing results confirm that Georgia-Pacific Gypsum’s DensDeck Prime Roof Boards display superior puncture and impact resistance. DensDeck Prime protects thermoplastic roofing membranes better than high-density polyisocyanurate (HD ISO) cover boards.
“All types of commercial roofing membranes are susceptible to everyday punctures from a variety of sources. Rigid objects with sharp edges like dropped tools, heavy equipment, winds which blow branches and debris onto roofs, frequent foot traffic for general maintenance and repair can cause punctures at any time,” explained Todd Kuykendall, director of Marketing and Product Management for Georgia-Pacific Gypsum. “DensDeck Prime cover boards support membranes so they can resist puncture damage, allowing them to do their job as a front-line protector in roof assembly against water intrusion,” he said.
