You’ll always be covered with this roof cover board

By Dani Sheehan. 

Manufacturer’s representatives have a lot of options when it comes to the products they represent. See why this rep group believes in USG Securock® Brand and how they’ve helped take them to market. 

Delta Rep Group in Florida was the first manufacturer’s rep group to help take USG Corporation's Securock® Brand Roof Board portfolio to market. Wayne Heironimus, managing partner of Delta Rep Group, tells us it’s been a huge success. In a recent interview with Heidi J. Ellsworth, Wayne discussed some of the products his company works with and why he believes so strongly in the brands he represents. 

On the surface, a simple cover board may not seem important, but if you’ve worked in commercial roofing, you understand the protection it provides. Wayne tells us, “Code requires that commercial roofs or flat roofs be insulated. That polyiso insulation is expensive, it needs to be protected. That cover board goes over those roof systems to provide a substrate to apply your roofing membrane to, and it protects the insulating material under it.”  

Contractors love USG Securock® Brand because its roof boards are easier to install and friendlier to use. Wayne continues, “There’s no itch, it provides better adhesion, higher tensile strength. It’s overall a high-performance product compatible with just about every type of roof system.”  

He tells us he remembers the first pallets that were sold and how excited they were about it. The competition had been about 15 years ahead of them, and in only 15 months, they were selling an incredible line. “With that product, we’re giving the customers enhanced roof performance, fire resistance and it reduces maintenance. It adds everything to the roof,” Wayne shares.  

As a rep, Wayne spends a good deal of time with his customers, listening to their unique needs and hoping to solve whatever problem they present. By representing USG Securock® Brand and other manufacturers, you can trust that he believes in these products as solutions. USG is a market leader in wallboard and gypsum products and will meet your need for any application.
