Safeguard Root Barrier (Green Roofs)

Safeguard Root Barrier is intended to provide root protection in green roof applications where the primary waterproofing layer does not offer adequate root protection.

Safeguard Root Barrier is simply loose laid on top of the primary waterproofing layer before subsequent green roof layers (drainage layer, filtration layer, etc...) are laid on top.

Joins between sections of Safeguard Root Barrier are made using Oldroyd Double Sided Tape to form a "triple seal" as shown in the diagram below:

Safeguard Root Barrier is supplied in 2x25m (50m²) rolls.
