1 General
Insulation overlays are used to separate the roof membrane from the primary insulation, usually for one of two reasons:
- to prevent the insulation from affecting the performance of the roof membrane
- to prevent the roof membrane and / or the method of application from affecting the insulation
The insulation can affect the performance of the roof membrane in the following ways:
- the insulation may be incompatible with the membrane, resulting in a loss of physical properties
- different coefficients of thermal expansion may result in membrane splits / cracks.
The roof membrane and / or the method of application can affect the insulation in the following ways:
- the insulation may not be capable of withstanding asphalt application temperatures and may “burn-out”
- some insulations will not accommodate direct torch-applied membranes
- insulations that are too “soft” may result in delamination or damage to the membrane or insulation when exposed to heavy loads or traffic
- the solvents and adhesives used for flexible membranes may adversely affect the insulation.
NOTE: All hot asphalt-adhered asphaltic membranes (built-up roofing, modified bitumen, etc.) require an insulation overlay over heat sensitive insulations and heat insensitive foamed insulation. RGC Guarantee Standards for heat sensitive insulations require a two-layer overlay board for a five (5) or ten (10) year Guarantee. RGC requires the use of a two-layer overlay board over heat sensitive insulations in all cases, and also requires a single-layer overlay board application over heat insensitive insulations for all hot asphalt-adhered membranes. For single-ply, non-asphaltic membrane roofing systems, the membrane manufacturer should be consulted for proprietary options.

Product Group: INVINSA™ ROOF BOARD
Country of Origin: USA
Country of Manufacture: USA
Year First Installed:
- Canada:1993
- USA:1989
- Outside North America:1995
DESCRIPTION
Invinsa™ Roof Board is a resilient, lightweight roof board designed as an integral component of the roof system, providing a protective layer for the insulation, while working with the membrane above to ensure maximum performance and longevity.
This patent-pending, high-density polyisocyanurate technology is bonded in-line to mineral-surfaced, fiber glass reinforced facers. In single ply and bituminous cold-applied and self-adhered roof systems, Invinsa enhances fire, water and hail resistance, and it will not support mold growth.
The roofing assembly / material information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer’s data or specifications. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the design authority.
Code Approvals and Testing
Invinsa has been tested according to the requirements of ASTM C 209, C 473, C 518, C 1289, D 1037, D 1621, D 2126, D 3273 and E 96. It has been classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. as an approved cover board for certain Class “A” fire-rated roof constructions. It can be used in numerous FM Global 1A-90 or above roof constructions.
Use
Invinsa optimizes roof system performance in new, re-cover and re-roof applications. It can be installed over an existing roof to increase the integrity of the new roof. The coated fiber glass facers provide strong, smooth surfaces suitable for mechanically attached or fully adhered membranes, without the need for priming.
Advantages
- Invinsa’s light weight offers labour and installation efficiencies and allows more options for situations where the overall weight is a concern.
- Light weight also means easy hoisting, staging and manoeuvring around the roof.
- High impact and flexural strength provide increased resistance to damage from various sources, including but not limited to hail, foot traffic, construction loads and normal roof maintenance.
- Low water absorption characteristics offer performance benefits in diverse environments.
- JM Invinsa roof board is user friendly, allowing easy and efficient scoring, cutting and snapping, which permits fast, tight fabrication around roof penetrations.
- Board composition provides a low dust environment and smooth surface for better adhesion.
- Flexibility means less breakage during handling, and in re-cover applications it allows Invinsa to accommodate minor irregularities in existing roofs.

Xpress ISO overlay board is a polyisocyanurate insulation board laminated with adhesive to a mineral wool fibre insulation made from basalt rock and steel slag with a factory-applied polyester reinforced SBS modified bitumen base sheet on the top surface with a thermofusible plastic film or a sanded surface. The base sheet is offset from the board on two adjacent edges (1" on end and 3 3/8" on side) to provide shiplap, other edges are square. To ensure a secure installation, Xpress ISO is made with the patented DUO-SELVEDGE, a lap unique to Soprema (70% self-adhesive and 30% thermofusible). Its self-adhesive component protects combustible surfaces and its thermofusible properties provide an efficient seal end laps can be aligned then sealed by heat welding a minimum 12" wide membrane reinforcing strip.
Xpress ISO is available in lm x 4.9m (39" x 16') up to 89 mm (3½") thick and lm x 2.4m (39" x 8') from 89 mm to 114 mm (3½" - 4½") thick. The larger boards are folded in two for easy shipping and handling. It can be mechanically fastened in seam with SOPRAFIX FASTENERS and PLATES, bonded with COLTACK or DUOTACK adhesive, or bonded in hot asphalt.
XPRESS ISO is an overlay board and base sheet combined, adding various thermal resistance values to primary insulation used as the overlay and base sheet combined.
