USGintroduces SECUROCK® Cement Roof Board, a durable, sustainable and high-performance roof board ideal for use in low-slope roofing SUE systems. According to the company, SECUROCK is environmentally sustainable as its lower weight ultimately reduces embodied energy and emissions. This innovative and versatile roof board enhances the entire roofing system as both a cover board and as a parapet, fire, or thermal barrier roof board. It boasts an easy score and snap on the ground or pallet. As a cover board, SECUROCK Cement Roof Board can be used with a variety of membranes and systems including fully adhered and mechanically attached systems, but is ideal for applications such as liquid-applied membranes and cold mastic modified bitumen.
