Get more work done in less time with 12-foot VersiCore® polyiso

By Versico Roofing Systems.

Five ways these 12-foot polyiso boards can help you on the jobsite.  

In the contracting industry, efficiency is the name of the game. That’s why here at Versico Roofing Systems we designed our 12' VersiCore® flat polyiso. From having fewer panels to load and less need for positioning on the roof, this product allows contractors to work more efficiently in the field. It can also offer cost-savings because of the reduced number of fastening patterns needed with mechanically attached membranes. The cherry on top? Better thermal efficiency as the larger size of these boards means there are fewer seams and gaps in the surface. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of 12-foot polyiso boards.

1 – Save time and materials with 12' polyiso

12' VersiCore Polyiso will cut your costs on large commercial building projects compared to traditional 8' panels. The 12' panels simplify installation by requiring fewer fasteners, fewer panels and fewer seams on mechanically attached systems. With a mechanically attached assembly, system fastening patterns can be reduced by three fasteners per square when utilizing 12' panels, improving your project’s efficiency.

2 – Easier loading and Installing

Simplify the installation process and logistics of your next commercial project with 12' VersiCore. With these larger panels, each pallet carries 33% more square footage compared to a pallet of 8' panels, with minimal weight differences to consider.

3 – 20-year warranties available with reduced fastening patterns

Save on fasteners by using only 6 fasteners per 12' board, available for warranties up to 20 years, on both new construction and re-roof projects. The image below shows some typical fastening scenarios based on 1.5" minimum insulation. For full warranty information and additional fastening patterns for mechanically attached and fully adhered systems, refer to Versico's Specifications.

4 – Achieve required R-values

12' panels are available in a variety of thicknesses to help you achieve state minimum R-values. The larger 12' VersiCore panels also reduce the number of seams and gaps for a more thermally efficient building.

5 – ReadyFlash® technology

Take control of your flash-off times by utilizing ReadyFlash Technology, which is a standard addition on every 12' VersiCore panel. ReadyFlash Technology allows contractors to manipulate adhesive flash-off times by choosing between two different-colored facers and ultimately make the project more efficient.

• Utilize the light side of the board on warmer days to create longer flash-off times and reduce the panel’s surface temperature by as much as 5°F
• Utilize the dark side of the board on cooler days to increase the surface temperature of the board by up to 25°F.
