Fesco^® Board Roof Insulation

Description

Fesco Board is a homogenous insulation board, composed of expanded perlite, blended with selected binders and fibers. The expanded perlite contains air cells which provide superior insulating efficiency. The top surface of the board is sealed with a special TopLoc^® coating to prevent excessive absorption of asphalt during the installation process. Fesco Board meets the physical requirements of ASTM C 728.

Use

Fesco Board Roof Insulation is intended for use as a low thermal roof insulation board and general purpose cover board for use over closed cell foam insulation boards in BUR, modified bitumen and some single ply roofing systems. Fesco Board can be installed using hot asphalt or mechanical fasteners. It has been rated in numerous Factory Mutual Class 1A-60, 1A-90 and 1A-180 fire and wind-resistant systems and is also approved for use in specific Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Class A constructions and Roof/Ceiling hourly fire-rated (P design) assemblies. Fesco Board has been successfully used in a wide variety of roofing applications for over forty years. Material will have UL labels, only when requested on the order.

Advantages

• Resists damage from construction and maintenance
• Excellent substrate for most roofing membranes
• Dimensionally stable
• Excellent fire resistance
• TopLoc coating ensures proper membrane adhesion
• Minimum recycled content of 25% by weight

Nord Board™ Roof Insulation

Description

Nord Board Roof Insulation is a rigid insulation board, composed of expanded perlite and cellulosic fibers. The top surface is coated with a modified APP asphalt coating and polyolefin film which allows for the direct application of heat-welded APP or PAO membrane products.

Use

Nord Board Roof Insulation is intended for use as a low thermal roof insulation board and general purpose cover board for use over closed cell foam insulation boards in APP membrane roofing systems. It is usually mechanically fastened, but can be adhered with hot asphalt in certain applications. Nord Board is suitable for new construction over wood and concrete decks. It is ideal for reroofing applications over smooth or gravel surfaced roofs. Since an APP (Atactic Polypropylene) or PAO (Polyalphaolefin) membrane can be directly applied to Nord Board, the base sheet requirement can be eliminated and labor time reduced.  There are numerous Factory Mutual fire and wind-resistant systems and specific Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Class A constructions approved with Nord Board.

Advantages

• Can eliminate the need for base sheet application in hot asphalt
• Good dimensional stability
• Excellent strength and handleability
• Resists damage from construction and maintenance
• Stable "R"-value
• Minimum recycled content 35% by weight for ½" (13 mm)
• Minimum recycled content 25% by weight for ³/4" (19 mm) and 1" (25 mm)

E’NRG’Y 2™

Description

E’NRG’Y 2 is a rigid roof insulation board composed of a closed cell polyisocyanurate foam core bonded in the foaming process to universal fiber glass reinforced facers.  E’NRG’Y 2 meets the physical property requirements of ASTM C 1289 and Federal Specification HH-I-1972/Gen and HH-I-1972/2.  E’NRG’Y 2 specialty products are also available as tapered panels, pre-cut miters and pre-cut crickets.

Use

E’NRG’Y 2 provides high thermal insulation value over metal, nailable, and non-nailable roof decks in built-up, modified bitumen and single ply membrane roofing systems. It may be applied using hot bitumen, cold adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The universal facer on the top and bottom side provide a suitable surface for mechanical attachment to a structural deck as well as a suitable surface to apply hot asphalt or cold adhesives. E’NRG’Y 2 has been rated in Factory Mutual 1A-60 and 1A-90 fire and wind-resistant systems for BUR, modified bitumen and single ply systems in specific constructions. It has been classified by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as an approved roof insulation in many Class A roof constructions and Roof/Ceiling hourly fire-rated assemblies, and is classified by Underwriters Laboratories Canada.

JM also supports NRCA Bulletin #9 in recommending that a cover board of Fesco Board, Fiber Glass Roof Insulation or ½" Retro-Fit Board be installed over foam insulations in hot membrane systems.

Advantages

Thermal Performance

The thermal values of E’NRG’Y 2 were determined in accordance with PIMA Technical Bulletin 101 and ASTM C 1289.

Recent investigations have indicated that reduction in foam thermal performance will continue to occur after the PIMA six-month conditioning period. The ultimate R-value of these products will depend on individual installation circumstances.  When calculating the anticipated thermal performance over the expected life of these products, JM suggests the use of an R-value of 5.56 per inch of foam thickness (0.98 m²- °C/W).
