ISOGARD™ HD
Elevate’s ISOGARD HD cover board is a 12.7 mm thick, high-density, closed-cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a mineral-coated fiberglass facer.

ISOGARD HD spreads the load and improves the protection of the insulation boards underneath. It combines impact resistance, ease of installation, and is used as a recovery board over the existing roofing system, it is an excellent choice for refurbishment projects.
