 This course will provide a brief overview of Low-Slope Roof Systems to provide the necessary background to discuss cover boards & thermal barriers. The various cover board types and reasons for their use will be described. Each board type will be discussed along with their primary features, benefits & challenges. The long-term performance of all low-slope roof systems is impacted by a number of external factors such as weather events and roof system abuse (natural & man-made).

 This course focuses on gypsum products manufactured with fiberglass facing which replaces the paper facing typically used on gypsum board. These products are regarded as “high performance” due to their superior weather resistance, superior fire resistance, and superior mold resistance. Five common product types include panels manufactured for 1.) exterior wall sheathing, 2.) shaftliner for cavity walls and area separation walls 3.) potential interior high-moisture conditions, 4.) tile backer boards for wet areas, and 5.) roof coverboards for low slope roof applications.
