Green Roof / Roof Gardens - EnkaRetain & Drain is an all-in-one drainage / water retention matting combining Enkadrain with a super absorbent water retention fabric. The core is made of post-industrial recycled content polypropylene. The fused, entangled filaments are molded into a distinctive square-waffle pattern.
Product features: • Three layers combined into one product • Water retention fabric holds 10x its weight in water • Waffle design creates open flow path • Continuous flow – even under high loads • Made from recycled polymers – contributes to LEED points • Filter fabric is now available on second side
Plaza Decks - Enkadrain 3000R series drainage products are highly desirable for horizontal applications such as plaza decks because they lay completely flat – which is desirable for easy handling and faster installation.
Key benefits of using Enkadrain vs. rigid, cuspated drains in horizontal applications:
• Lays completely flat for easy seaming • Flexible and conformable to irregular surfaces and construction obstacles • Longer and wider rolls reduce installation costs • Protects waterproofing during and after backfill • No sharp edges - safer for installers to handle • 95% open for multi-directional flow – will not trap water • Continuous flow under high loads Enkadrain 3000R products are made with recycled polymers and contribute to LEED points. They are available with a filter fabric on one or two sides.
Metal Roof Underlayment - Enkamat 7008 / 7010 is a nylon matrix used for drainage and ventilation in metal, protected membrane, and ballasted roofing applications. This product is used when a weather barrier membrane has already been placed on the sheathing and a drainage and ventilation layer is needed.
What makes Enkamat desirable as a roofing underlayment?
• 95% open matrix provides unrestricted flow of water and air • Reduces rooftop temperatures at sheathing by 20% • Allows differential movement due to temperature change • Promotes evaporation of moisture out of the roofing structure • Lightweight and easy to get onto roof • Flexible and conformable to any surface • Cuts easily with scissors / utility knife
In addition to creating a cavity for a thermal break (increased energy efficiency), Enkamat also provides an acoustic break, reducing impact noise (rainfall, hail, sleet) up to 50% - or 21dB. Call for other uses of Enkamat 7010 including root reinforcement in garden roof applications and in pre-vegetated mat applications.
