BRAMPTON, Ontario — IKO ShieldBase™ 180 Laminated Cover Board provides a lightweight, durable 2-in-1 composite layer cover board solution offering versatility and easy installation for commercial roofing applications.
ShieldBase 180 is a composite of ½"-high compressive IKOTherm™ CoverShield™ polyiso insulation that is factory laminated to a 180-gram polyester reinforced SBS modified bitumen base sheet.
The CoverShield layer of the product features a rigid, lightweight foam insulation with high thermal properties, which offers outstanding insulation protection and an R-value of 2.5.
“ShieldBase 180 is a lightweight cover board product that helps to reduce the dead weight load of the roofing system — while still providing reinforced system durability for commercial re-cover projects,” said Akif Amin, VP, commercial division, IKO North America. “Plus, we’ve engineered the cover board to include specific properties such as self-adhering edges for quick and easy application of the roofing system’s base layer.”
Easy Installation, Versatile Application
The dual selvage, self-adhering edges of the product allow for easy joining of the base to the adjacent ShieldBase 180 boards.
It can be applied as a mechanically fastened system, offering a fastening pattern of 18" on-centre to reduce material and labour. Additionally, ShieldBase 180 Cover Board may be adhered with IKO MillenniumTM Adhesive or fully adhered with hot asphalt.
