Yosemite® Buffer Base Sheet

CertainTeed Yosemite Buffer Base Sheet is designed for use as a buffer sheet over existing roofing membranes in lieu of a divorcing layer of roof insulation on re-cover projects where the existing roofing membrane is left in place. It is suitable for use over existing gravel, mineral or smooth surfaced roof systems and is substituted for the base ply of the new membrane.

CertainTeed Yosemite Buffer Base Sheet is manufactured on a heavy duty fiber glass mat which receives a heavy coating of weathering grade asphalt and is surfaced with mineral granules. The heavy asphalt coating provides excellent moisture resistance in conjunction with a durable, puncture resistant granule surface.
