<li>Insulation overlay boards are installed in most ''Conventionally Insulated Systems'' to

<li>protect ''heat-sensitive insulation'' materials from damage by heat and flame.

<li>Insulation overlay boards may be mechanically attached or adhered, depending upon the insulation type and the design requirements of the entire ''roof assembly''.

<li>An insulation overlay is required for all insulated ''systems'', regardless of the insulation type, and overlays must
<ol>
<li>be at least 6.4 mm (1/4”) thick.
<li>possess a compressive strength of at least 690 kPa (100 psi).

</li></ol>
<li>When an overlay board is required over mineral wool insulation, the overlay board must be a moisture resistant fibreglass-faced silicon treated gypsum core board measuring at least 12.7 mm (1/2") thick. See also '''7.2 Materials''' concerning mineral wool insulation.
<li>{{hilite | ''Heat-sensitive'' crickets used in membrane systems applied with hot bitumen must be overlaid using either of the following approaches || 2021-June-18 }}:

<li>one layer of panels,

<li>offset from insulation joints by at least 300 mm (12”).
<li>continuously sealed with a flame-impervious tape along all joints with adjacent panels.
</li></ol>
<li>two layers of panels,
<ol>
<li>each at least 4.8 mm (3/16”) thick.
<li>offset from each other, from the adjacent layer, and from insulation joints by at least 300 mm (12”).
