Raising the industry standard in high-performing roof boards

By USG. 

USG Securock® Brand Roof Boards provide the most durable backbone support to any roofing system. 

Just as the spine provides support for the rest of the body, a roof cover board is critical to providing the durable backbone of a roofing system. Sitting comfortably between the insulation layer and under the roofing membrane, the roof cover board provides an even and smooth surface for the roofing membrane to adhere to. High-quality roof cover boards are critical because they also improve the integrity of the roof’s structure while protecting any interior components from damage.
