Waterproofing Membranes
Hydrotech Monolithic Membrane 6125 provides seamless, self-healing waterproofing for horizontal and vertical structures. Its 215-mil thickness and 40% recycled content offer superior durability against cracks and water exposure. Ideal for plazas, tunnels, and foundation walls, it bonds directly to substrates like concrete and steel, eliminating lateral water migration while meeting ISO 9001 and FM standards.
Protected Membrane Roofs
PMR assemblies place insulation above the membrane, protecting it from UV degradation and temperature extremes. Using DuPont Styrofoam with R-6.7 per inch, these systems enhance energy efficiency and extend roof lifespan. They include triple protection at critical points and are ideal for flat or low-slope commercial buildings seeking LEED certification or long-term cost savings.
Garden Roofs
Our FM-approved Garden Roof Assemblies combine MM6125 with lightweight growing media and vegetation. They reduce urban heat islands, manage stormwater runoff, and support biodiversity. Systems include extensive (low-maintenance) and intensive (landscaped) options, with root barriers and drainage layers to protect structural integrity while meeting sustainability goals.
Amenity Decks
The Ultimate Assembly creates durable, accessible rooftop spaces with architectural pavers over MM6125. Open-joint installation allows drainage while preventing water ponding. Pavers offer high compressive strength and aesthetic flexibility, with easy access to drains and components for maintenance, ideal for urban plazas, restaurants, or recreational areas.
Drainage Solutions
Hydrodrain composites manage water flow in plazas, retaining walls, and foundation applications. Engineered channels direct water away from structures, reducing hydrostatic pressure and freeze-thaw damage. Compatible with PMR and garden roof systems, they ensure long-term performance in dead-level or sloped installations across millions of square feet nationwide.
