CCW Root-Barrier is a high-strength, specially formulated membrane designed for the CCW Green Roof and CCW-500R Waterproofing Systems
Root-Barrier is installed directly over CCW Protection Board. Loose-lay Root-Barrier directly over the completed waterproofing assembly by overlapping the material 4' in length or joining the sides and ends with HP-250 Primer and 3" Carlisle SecurTAPE™ double-sided adhesive tape. Turn Root-Barrier up vertical edges and flashings in all areas to be covered by soil to totally protect the waterproofing system.
Root-Barrier is a 16-mil (0.41 mm) membrane made from a layer of tightly-woven HDPE scrim with a continuous 2-mil (.05 mm) polymeric coating on both sides. Root-Barrier is used in planter, CCW-500R System and Green Roof purposes to prevent root migration into the waterproofing system. It does not contain plasticizers that can migrate to the surface and attack some asphalt-based materials.
