	Mineral fibre roof insulations are composed of rock fibres with a thermoset resin and surfaced with glass fibre scrim on the top surface. These boards can provide a suitable surface for directly mopped bituminous membranes, however, a minimum one layer fibreboard overlay is recommended.

	Composite board roof insulation products consist of an insulation bonded with another insulation and / or a variety of other products (typically fibreboard, perlite, membranes, etc.) to form a unified, multi-layered insulation board. The top and bottom surfaces of the board may be impregnated and / or coated with asphalt (or other binders), and covered with facing materials such as roofing felts, foils, kraft paper modified bituminous membranes, etc.		Composite board roof insulation products consist of an insulation bonded with another insulation and / or a variety of other products (typically fibreboard, perlite, membranes, etc.) to form a unified, multi-layered insulation board.

	Perlite ore is a volcanic glass with a natural water content characteristic. When this ore is heated to approximately +930<sup>o</sup>C (+1700<sup>o</sup>F) the water vaporizes and the ore expands into glass spheroids. The expanded perlite ore may be mixed into a water slurry formulation containing cellulose fibre, a small amount of asphalt, and sometimes starch. The slurry is then dried into boards and cut to size. The top surface is usually treated to minimize bitumen absorption.		Perlite ore is a volcanic glass with a natural water content characteristic.

	Glass fibreboard roof insulations are composed of fine glass fibres compressed into rigid insulation boards. These boards are most commonly available top-surfaced with a glass fibre-reinforced asphalt and kraft paper. This provides a suitable surface for directly mopped bituminous membranes and for some flexible membrane roof systems. In addition, boards made of glass fibres bound in a resinous binder are available either top-surfaced for bituminous roofing, or plain for use under ballasted membrane systems.
