10-Mil HDPE Root Barrier

Terra-BARRIER™ RB-10 is a 10-mil, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet that effectively arrests root penetration and redirect roots to a horizontal growth plane. This helps to lock in vegetation, preventing root damage to the waterproofing membrane and root intrusion into green roof and planter applications while increasing wind up-lift resistance.

Description

Terra-BARRIER™ RB-10 is a 10-mil, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet that effectively arrests root penetration and redirect roots to a horizontal growth plane. This helps to lock in vegetation, preventing root damage to the waterproofing membrane and root intrusion into green roof and planter applications while increasing wind up-lift resistance.

 

Terra-BARRIER™ RB-10 is designed for use in extensive Roofscapes® assemblies, lawn applications, and planters exclusively using herbaceous plants. It is not intended for applications using woody plant varieties.

 

BENEFITS:

  • Direct roots into a horizontal plane away from waterproofing

  • Prevent root damage to the waterproofing membrane

  • Prevent root intrusion into green roof & planter applications

 

USES:

  • Extensive green roofs

  • Lawn applications

  • Commercial planters

 

Description:

All laps should be roughly 5 feet or lapped 2.5 feet with all edges taped using Terra-BARRIER™ Seam Tape. Turn up a mininum of 4 inches above the finish elevation line at perimeters and projections, then temporarily tape to the walls. Repair punctures and any other damages before installing the drainage mat.
