Raising the industry standard in high-performing roof boards

USG Raising the Industry Standard
May 7, 2024 at 3:00 a.m.

By USG. 

USG Securock® Brand Roof Boards provide the most durable backbone support to any roofing system. 

Just as the spine provides support for the rest of the body, a roof cover board is critical to providing the durable backbone of a roofing system. Sitting comfortably between the insulation layer and under the roofing membrane, the roof cover board provides an even and smooth surface for the roofing membrane to adhere to. High-quality roof cover boards are critical because they also improve the integrity of the roof’s structure while protecting any interior components from damage. 

We’ve got innovation covered 

USG’s commitment to innovation and putting customers first has kept USG at the forefront of new technologies, providing customers with the products and services they need to succeed in their work. 

Securock® Brand Roof Boards continue that long tradition of customer-centric innovation. Since the inception of the Securock® Brand in 2005, USG’s high-performing roof board portfolio has been tested and proven to deliver industry-leading protection and performance for the roof against impact, fire or wind-uplift damage. 

USG Securock® Brand Roof Boards are made of a unique combination of materials that offer several key advantages over competing cover board options: 

Enhanced durability 

The composition of USG Securock® Brand Roof Boards provides exceptional durability and resistance to damage from severe weather, foot traffic, and impact damage.
