Guest User 2/1/2008	Ron, When attaching rigid insulation(ISO board) we use what we call stress plates, some call them deck plates. They are a metal plate that is about 2&3/4 inches across with a recessed hole in the center. The recess prevents the screw from protruding above the plate. The plates and screws are specifically made for this purpose and you will probably have to go to a roofing distributor to get them. [email protected] P.S. we also use the plates to install the underlayment.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/10869/find/
