This year marks the 20^th anniversary of USG Securock^® Brand Roof Boards, the most comprehensive roof cover board portfolio for any commercial roofing application.

For decades, USG has led the construction industry with a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, with hard-earned trust through a product portfolio designed to make contractors’ lives easier.

Building a History of Innovation

USG Securock^® Brand Roof Boards have consistently pushed the industry forward by introducing new technologies and materials. With one of the largest roof cover board portfolios available, USG offers solutions tailored to maximize productivity for contractors, including:

• A facer-free gypsum board that allows adhesives to spread easily
• Assemblies that require fewer fasteners while maintaining wind-uplift ratings
• UltraLight technology that enhances ease of handling and installation

Over the past decade, lightweight technology became a focus in product development to address quicker installations and less time spent on the roof along with the physical toll that heavy roofing materials take on installers. USG responded with solutions that are easier to handle, faster to install, and more efficient overall.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed

USG’s “customer first” philosophy drives innovation. At the Corporate Innovation Center in Libertyville, IL, customers are invited to interface with our scientists and technical engineers. These interactions combined with technical support in the field provide firsthand insights into customer pain points and help shape real-world solutions.

The quality and performance of building materials are ultimately reflected on the manufacturer, but it’s often the contractor who bears the brunt of customer complaints. Poor-quality products can damage the reputation of the contractor and compromise results on the jobsite. When the stakes are this high, it’s essential to choose trusted, high-performing materials that deliver long-term value while forging lasting relationships for mutual success.

When contractors work with USG, not only are they partnering with a proven building and roofing materials manufacturer, but they also get a true partner in the process. From coordinating product delivery to hands-on technical support, USG representatives are on stand-by to ensure that every project is a success.
