Advantages of Using Coverboards on Low Slope Roofing Assemblies
Course description
This course will provide a brief overview of low-slope roof systems and provide the necessary background to discuss coverboards and thermal barriers. The various coverboard types and reasons for their use will be described. Each board type will be discussed along with their primary features, benefits and 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 and man-made). In order to increase your knowledge surrounding overboard selection, important roof component performance criteria will be discussed and conclusions drawn. This course assists architects and specifiers with the tools to make the appropriate product selections based on the system and the required level of performance. Led by an NGC certified presenter offering 1.0 LU/HSW credit.
