Job Description
Waterproofing for a 5000 sq. ft. Green Roof
Products Used
- Freedomtuff 6160 epoxy primer
- Freedomtuff sealflex™ polyurea
- Freedomtuff stonegrip™ polyurethane
Project Overview
In May of 2009, Winters–Schram Architectural and Building Firm out of Los Angeles, CA, approached Freedom Chemical Corp. about a waterproofing system (green roof) for a multimillion-dollar home in Malibu, CA. Upon completion of the proofing membrane, they would be adding a green roof system. The system would include soil and vegetation, so the waterproofing membrane had to provide root barrier properties. Freedom Chemical Corp contracted IPW to execute the project.
Application
The roof was 4000-psi concrete with several levels and transitions. The surface of the roof was prepared according to the Freedom product specifications to provide CSP-4 profile. The Freedomtuff 6160 was applied in 2 coats at 8 mils, 30 mesh sand was broadcast to refusal into the second coat of wet primer. Freedomtuff Sealflex was sprayed at 80 mils thickness. The home had custom windows that went the full length of the home. IPW had to create “flashing” that could be rolled and fit into a cavity of the window to provide waterproofing along the top edge of the window. Geo-fabric was used to create the flashing along the perimeter of the home. 40 mils of FreedomTuff stonegrip was applied, and a full broadcast of washed, rounded 20-grit sand was added to provide the root barrier and safety surface.
Results
The Freedomtuff polyurea system application met all expectations, providing the superior protection this extraordinary roof system required.
