Fiberboard Roofing Substrate

Completes a project reliably and economically

Durable and dependable, fiberboard roofing substrate helps you stay on top of any roofing application. As basic as a standard built-up roof, yet as current as today's single-ply systems, fiberboard is durable and consistent, easy to handle, easy to apply, and lasts for years in both re-rof and new applications.

 

Features

Dependable

Roof fiberboard's interlocking, high-density wood fibers make installations strong and rigid.

Durable

Count on fiberboard to stand up during:

  • Normal storage
  • Construction handling
  • Roof traffic

Simple

Easy to handle and fast to apply, roof fiberboard:

  • Creates a smooth, even substrate
  • Provides uniform density
  • Offers accurate dimensions

Compatibility

 Roof fiberboard provides choices of:

  • Thickness
  • Length/width
  • Surface finishes for modified bitumen, BUR, EPDM, and PVC membranes
  • Factory-applied surface coating to reduce asphalt or adhesive "strike-in" when adhered roofing systems are required
