Abstract
As NRCA’s history of technical bulletins demonstrates, using cover boards with low-slope roof membranes is good roofing practice. Before selecting a cover board, it’s important to review a roof membrane manufacturer’s literature or consult with its technical staff. Roof membrane manufacturers test roof assemblies for wind uplift and fire classification based on the entirety of the components within the assembly, including cover boards.
