Rigiboard APEX

RigiBoard™ APEX is a high-density mineral wool insulation board engineered for mechanically attached low-slope roofing systems.

Elevate your roofing assembly with PowerWool™ RigiBoard™ APEX, a high-density mineral wool insulation board designed for superior performance in commercial and industrial low-slope roofing applications.

At 12.5 lb/ft³ density with R-3.85 per inch thermal resistance, RigiBoard APEX delivers exceptional compressive strength, fire safety, and long-term thermal stability. The board’s high-density construction withstands foot traffic and mechanical attachment while maintaining dimensional integrity throughout its service life.

PowerWool™ RigiBoard™ APEX helps create safer, more energy-efficient roofing systems by resisting fire, repelling moisture, and maintaining stable thermal performance that does not degrade over time. It’s approved for use in Canada and the U.S., with CCMC Listing #14061-L certification.
