High-Performance Water Management for Green Roof Systems

In modern architecture, energy efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions are at the center of sustainable building technologies. Within these systems, the drainage layer is one of the most critical components for effective water management and structural protection.

TekDrain GF 25/270 Green Roof Drainage Board is a professional drainage solution manufactured from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), designed with high compressive strength and efficient water retention capacity for demanding green roof applications.

Product Description

TekDrain GF 25/270 has been specially developed for:

  • Green roofs above parking structures
  • Heavy-load landscaped areas
  • Intensive vegetation roof systems

With a compressive strength of 270 kN/m², it provides long-term structural stability under high loads.

The HDPE structure offers:

  • Root resistance
  • Rot resistance
  • Chemical resistance
  • Long service life

Its 25 mm stud height enables effective water storage while directing excess water toward parapets according to the roof slope, ensuring balanced drainage performance.

Product Features and Advantages

Superior Compressive Strength (270 kN/m²)

With its high load-bearing capacity, TekDrain GF 25/270 maintains its performance without deformation in:

  • Parking roof landscapes
  • Intensive green roof systems
  • High-load roof applications

Efficient Water Management

The product stores 5 L/m² of water, helping plants maintain moisture levels and reducing irrigation requirements.

Excess water is safely directed through the drainage channels toward parapet outlets.

Energy Saving and Thermal Performance

TekDrain GF 25/270 supports green building performance by:

  • Reducing heat transfer through roof systems
  • Improving thermal comfort
  • Lowering heating and cooling requirements
  • Contributing to reduced carbon emissions

Root Resistant and Rot Resistant Structure

The HDPE material provides strong resistance against:

  • Plant root penetration
  • Chemical exposure
  • Soil conditions
  • Biological degradation

It maintains structural integrity even in long-term underground applications.

Contribution to Urban Water Management

By controlling rainwater flow, TekDrain GF 25/270:

  • Reduces pressure on urban drainage infrastructure
  • Supports natural water cycles
  • Helps manage stormwater effectively

Environmentally Friendly Material

Manufactured from recyclable HDPE, the product supports sustainable construction practices and contributes to green building certification processes.

Applications

  • Terrace roofs
  • Green roofs above parking structures
  • Urban gardens
  • Green façade systems
  • Intensive vegetation roof applications

Installation Method

After placing the root-resistant membrane, İzoTeknik 5000 or İzoTeknik 6500 is installed.

Then, TekDrain GF 25/270 drainage boards are placed side by side without overlapping.

A GeoTeknik 1100 PP geotextile layer is installed above the drainage system. This configuration allows plant roots to access the main water reservoir while maintaining balanced drainage performance.
