This cover board offers unmatched strength without the extra weight

By Jesse Sanchez. 

Lightweight, strong and easy to install, the ENRGY 3® HD cover board is an innovative solution for enhanced durability and easy installation. 

Johns Manville, a leading supplier of roofing solutions for over 150 years, has introduced its latest innovation — the ENRGY 3® HD cover board. Designed to provide superior strength without compromising ease of use, this product is poised to meet the demands of contractors seeking durability and efficiency in roofing materials across various types of roofing projects. 

The ENRGY 3 HD offers impressive compressive strength of 80 psi, ensuring high resistance to damage from hail, foot traffic and construction loads. Its durability doesn’t stop there — John Manville’s new cover board also excels in everyday maintenance scenarios, making it a long-term investment for roofing projects. 

What sets this cover board apart is its weight-to-strength ratio. At 85% lighter than a comparable half-inch gypsum board, the ENRGY 3 HD is not only easier to handle but offers significant labor and installation efficiencies. This lightweight design reduces the physical strain on workers and streamlines the installation process, allowing for faster, more precise results on-site. 

In addition to labor savings, the product also offers logistical advantages. ENRGY 3 HD boards can be shipped more efficiently, potentially fitting up to three times more material on a single truckload compared to gypsum boards. This results in fewer trips to the jobsite, reducing overall costs and environmental impact. 

JM’s ENRGY 3 HD is compatible with a variety of roofing systems and comes with the option of a Peak Advantage® Guarantee, offering up to 30 years of coverage based on the assembly.
