The Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA)<\/a> announced the release of a new technical bulletin<\/a> detailing the advantages of high-density polyiso cover boards. High-density polyiso cover boards are an important component in roof systems, providing a substrate for roofing membranes and protection for underlying insulation. <\/p>\n \u201cPIMA\u2019s new technical bulletin illustrates that high-density polyiso cover boards perform well with less structural loading and improved long-term maintenance when compared to other options,\u201d said Justin Koscher, President of PIMA. \u201cWe see broad acceptance of these high-density boards in both new construction and the retrofitting of existing roofs.\u201d <\/p>\n According to the technical bulletin, high-density polyiso cover boards, when compared to other options offer project teams many advantages: <\/p>\n High-density polyiso cover boards also provide high R-value, superior water and mold resistance while boasting impressive long-term durability and service life, according to the association. Their compressive, flexural and tensile strength provide impact resistance from foot traffic, hail and other extreme weather. These boards also contribute toward meeting or exceeding the newest continuous insulation standards and can qualify buildings that use them for preferred insurance ratings. <\/p>\n \u201cIn terms of both installation and effectiveness over time, high-density polyiso cover boards provide savings and deliver superior results from installation through the life of the roof,\u201d added Koscher. <\/p>\n
