TechNews: Advantages of 12-Foot Polyiso Boards

Versico Roofing Systems’ new 12' VersiCore® flat polyiso allows contractors to get more work done in less time. With fewer panels to load onto the roof and less time spent positioning, 12' VersiCore is the most efficient insulation option for large-scale jobs. It can provide cost savings with reduced fastening patterns for mechanically attached membranes, and 12’ boards reduce the number of seams and gaps, leading to better thermal efficiency.

Save Time and Materials with 12' Polyiso
12' VersiCore Polyiso will cut your costs on large commercial building projects compared to traditional 8' panels. The 12' panels simplify installation by requiring fewer fasteners, fewer panels, and fewer seams on mechanically attached systems. With a mechanically attached assembly, system fastening patterns can be reduced by 3 fasteners per square when utilizing 12' panels, improving your project’s efficiency.

Loading and Installing
Simplify the installation process and logistics of your next commercial project with 12' VersiCore. With these larger panels, each pallet carries 33% more square footage compared to a pallet of 8' panels, with minimal weight differences to consider.

20-Year Warranties Available with Reduced Fastening Patterns
Save on fasteners by using only 6 fasteners per 12' board, available for warranties up to 20 years, on both new construction and re-roof projects. The image below shows some typical fastening scenarios based on 1.5" minimum insulation.

For full warranty information and additional fastening patterns for mechanically attached and fully adhered systems, refer to Versico's Specifications.

Achieve Required R-Values
12' panels are available in a variety of thicknesses to help you achieve state minimum R-values. The larger 12' VersiCore panels also reduce the number of seams and gaps for a more thermally efficient building.

ReadyFlash® Technology
Take control of your flash-off times by utilizing ReadyFlash Technology, which is a standard addition on every 12' VersiCore panel. ReadyFlash Technology allows contractors to manipulate adhesive flash-off times by choosing between two different-colored facers, and ultimately make the project more efficient.
  • Utilize the light side of the board on warmer days to create longer flash-off times, and reduce the panel’s surface temperature by as much as 5°F
  • Utilize the dark side of the board on cooler days to increase the surface temperature of the board by up to 25°F.

TechNews: Thermal Bridging

It has always been good roofing practice to install your roof insulation in two or more layers and to stagger joints of insulation boards. Installing one thick layer of insulation allows for more thermal loss between the joints of the insulation from the roof deck level to the membrane level.
