This moisture- and mold-resistant cement panel is a substrate board, thermal barrier, and coverboard for commercial roofing applications.

Use it for a wide variety of roofing systems, including fully adhered, mechanically attached, and ballasted roofs using single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, fluid-applied, built-up roofing, spray foam, and metal.
