Safety Spotlight: Not Only Do These Products Perform, They Make Installation Safer and Easier

Raise your roofing standards and enhance the durability of an entire roofing system with USG Securock® Brand Glass-Mat Roof Board products.

These lightweight glass-mat roof boards are ideal for use in various systems and they’re lighter and easier to work with, making the jobsite safer and more efficient.

Worker safety is a high priority for roofing contractors, which is why USG creates high-quality products like Securock Brand UltraLight Glass-Mat and Coated Glass-Mat Roof Boards, where the installation process is given as much consideration as product performance.

Here are some key features of these industry-leading products:

Lightweight

Every pound matters on the jobsite, which is why the Securock Brand UltraLight Glass-Mat Roof Board and Securock Brand UltraLight Coated Glass-Mat Roof Board weigh up to 18% less than competitive glass-mat roof boards*. Less weight to carry makes it easier to hoist, stage, and maneuver around the roof.

Less Itch

Working with roof board can leave workers with irritated skin. Since the product is covered with a high-quality glass-mat, it is less itchy than competitive products. Taking the steps to reduce itchiness and irritation for those handling materials on the jobsite may seem like a minor detail, but it’s what makes Securock Brand UltraLight Glass-Mat and Coated Glass-Mat Roof Boards stand out from the rest.

Easy to Work With

Creating a product that’s easier to score and snap with cleaner cuts increases efficiency of installation with tighter fabrication on any project. The strength of Securock Brand UltraLight Glass-Mat and Coated Glass-Mat Roof Boards is the mat-to-core tensile bond which also makes the facer less likely to delaminate when cut.

Additionally, the high-quality tight mat of the product simplifies the process of cutting and handling roof board. This leads to less breakage and waste on the jobsite and saves on time and materials.
