Hydrotech Announces Two Additions to Garden Roof Assembly


American Hydrotech (http://www.hydrotechusa.com), a recognized leader in the development and distribution of premium waterproofing and roofing products, today announces two new vegetation product component options for achieving sustainable roof environments. Both the Garden Tray GT15™ and InstaGreen™ Sedum Carpet offer outstanding benefits, low maintenance and contribute to a full, warranty-backed Hydrotech extensive Garden Roof Assembly when used in conjunction with other recommended components.

Garden Tray GT15 is a molded, three-dimensional tray made from recycled polyethylene specifically designed for use in a Hydrotech extensive Garden Roof Assembly. Each tray has retention cups on the top side, drainage channels on top and bottom and holes in the tops of domes to achieve proper ventilation and evaporation. Systemfilter filter fabric is laid in the bottom of the tray which is then filled with growing media and plants. Each tray measures 18 in. x 22 in. and covers 2.75 sq. ft. when laid loosely over IRMA Stone Filter Fabric and STYROFOAM insulation. Adjacent Garden Tray GT15 trays can either be butt or mechanically fastened together.

InstaGreen Sedum Carpets are rolled mats of vegetation that can easily be installed on low and steep sloped roofs for a full, green effect. All carpets are delivered with a minimum of 75% coverage and achieve 90% coverage after a two-year period. This product is not only quick to install but also easy to maintain. Perennial plants or plugs can be planted through the mat after installation if desired for added flexibility.

“Hydrotech’s extensive Garden Roof Assemblies have been used on rooftops across the United Stated for more than 13 years,” stated Ed Jarger, General Sales and Marketing Manager for American Hydrotech. “We continue to expand our product offering with improved technology like GT15 and InstaGreen carpets, all to offer the greatest flexibility for architects, ease of installation for contractors and functionality combined with peace of mind for building owners, since Hydrotech offers a full warranty on all of our assemblies.”
