It’s not “if” your client’s commercial
roof will withstand a pummeling—it’s “when.”

Choose the right roof board for the unpredictable:

NOT ALL CLASS A ROOFING ASSEMBLIES ARE EQUAL

Resilient roofing systems need to factor in unpredictability. Durable low-slope roofs that can weather storms and other potential hazards are able to stand strong against wind uplift, impact from flying debris, punctures, the spread of fire and extreme hail. They can also support heavy equipment like HVAC systems and solar panels.

IconFIRE RESISTANCE

Contain the spread of flames and smoke.

All it takes is one burning ember and the right conditions for a fire to quickly spread. DensDeck® Roof Boards are noncombustible based on ASTM E136. Their gypsum core and fiberglass mat facers help to mitigate the risk of rooftop fire damage from every direction. HD ISO is combustible—it’s made of foam insulation that can burn. See how they compare in fire tests.

IconWIND RESISTANCE

Stand strong against wind uplift.

When heavy winds move over and around a building, they create low pressure above the roof. Wind uplift can cause membrane delamination and fastener withdrawal. DensDeck® Roof Boards give you a rigid base of support, a superior bonding surface and enhanced strength to mitigate damage. HD ISO’s lightweight foam can’t provide the same level of flexural strength and wind uplift resistance.

IconPUNCTURE RESISTANCE

Fight the threat of punctures.

Punctures may occur from foot traffic, dropped tools, rooftop installations or severe weather carrying flying debris. While small punctures may not look threatening, they can lead to serious problems over time. See how DensDeck® Roof Boards and HD ISO perform in puncture tests.

IconHAIL RESISTANCE

Be tough enough for Very Severe Hail.

DensDeck® StormX™ Prime Roof Board was the first cover board to be FM classified for Very Severe Hail (VSH) in approved single-ply assemblies. It helps provide impact protection to both the membrane and insulation of your roofing system. HD ISO is not approved for VSH.
