0 flame and smoke spread when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 and CAN/ULC-S102.
UL Classified for resistance to external fire sources [per ANSI/UL 790 and CAN/ULC-S114].
UL Classified for resistance to fires below roof [per ANSI/UL 1256].

Wind Resistance

Board Strength and Mat to Core Bond

Improves roof’s ability to resist wind.
Increases membrane bond strength compared to paper-faced insulation or no cover board.
Improves fastener pull through performance compared to paper-faced insulation or no cover board.

Puncture Resistance

Rigid Board Protection for Membrane and Insulation

Resists impact from repeated events such as maintenance foot traffic.
Helps relieve static pressure caused by the weight of rooftop equipment.
Helps defend against dynamic impact from flying debris.

Hail Resistance

Strength of gypsum core with fiberglass mat reinforcement

Stands strong against repeated hail strikes.
DensDeck® StormX™ Prime Roof Board was the first gypsum cover board FM classified for VSH in approved single-ply assemblies.¹

*Please consult ASTM E136 and ASTM E84 for information concerning the test methods and measures for combustibility and flame spread. For information concerning the UL 790 and UL 1256 classifications for DensDeck® Roof Boards, consult the applicable UL certifications directory. Please note, however, that the performance of a roof depends on all components used in the roofing assembly and how the components interact. Passing a fire test in a controlled laboratory setting does not mean that a particular product or system will necessarily provide the same resistance or protection in an actual fire.

Performance

Data That Speaks to Durability

Enhancing the durability and puncture resistance of the DensDeck® Roof Board offerings for FM Global Very Severe Hail (VSH) rating specifications, DensDeck® StormX™ Prime Roof Board assemblies meets these rigid standards for impact resistance, using engineering ingenuity to help reduce roof assembly storm damage risk.

FM Global tests roof systems for moderate and severe hail impact resistance on how the withstand dropping a 2-inch diameter 1.19-pound steel ball from either 81 inches or 141.5 inches, respectively. This results in impact energies of 8 ft-lbs for moderate hail (1.75″ or bigger) and 14 ft-lbs for severe hail (2″ or bigger). The new VSH designation uses an ice launcher to propel a 2-inch diameter laboratory-made ice ball at 152 to 160 feet per second. This applies impact energy of 53 to 58 foot-pounds on the surface of the tested sample–an increase of almost 4x compared to severe hail.
