H-Shield HD-MA

Hunter Panels

Hunter Panels launched a new insulating cover board called H-Shield HD-MA, a half-inch thick polyiso cover board with Glass-Reinforced Felt on both major surfaces. “The H-Shield HD-MA cover board will compete nicely against quarter-inch and half-inch gypsum in mechanically attached single-ply systems because it is significantly lighter and easier to cut,” said Brandon Reynolds, Hunter Panels’ product manager. “With an R-value of 2.5, contractors will be able to install thinner insulation base layers and still meet the code required R-value.”
