Georgia-Pacific Building Products Releases Third Video in Roofing Series

Georgia-Pacific, a leading commercial and residential building products manufacturer committed to developing the highest-quality products while leading with a tireless commitment to innovation, announces the third installment of a four-part video series – “Four Dimensions of Durability in Roofing” - demonstrating the value and key benefits of choosing a gypsum coverboard to help protect against fire, wind, puncture, and hail. The third video will focus on puncture and foot traffic; videos concentrating on fire and wind were released previously and may be found here.

In a survey conducted by Ducker Worldwide, roofing consultants ranked puncture as a top threat to the lifespan of a commercial roof. Three primary sources of puncture in the roof industry exist; they are: puncture from roof installation/maintenance/assorted foot traffic; hail; and flying debris from severe weather. The Georgia-Pacific puncture video includes a “heat map” feature indicating hot spots and high-risk areas on a commercial roof that can allow unchecked moisture to spread throughout a roof assembly and breach the building.
