GreenSlope, a pioneering roofing product crafted from recycled non-biodegradable materials, aims to revolutionize flat roof maintenance by providing a sustainable solution to a common problem: water ponding. Designed by Wryker Construction Supply to mitigate this persistent roofing issue, Bitec’s unique composition and ease of application make it a compelling option for both commercial and residential structures facing drainage challenges.
GreenSlope’s design is both durable and highly adaptable. Engineered to withstand harsh weather, it reshapes low ponding areas to direct water flow efficiently toward drainage systems. The material's lightweight structure offers an advantage over traditional concrete fillers, exerting minimal stress on flat roof systems and thus promoting long-term roof durability. A single five-gallon pail of GreenSlope can cover up to nine square feet of roof at a one-inch thickness.
The product’s flexibility makes it suitable for various applications around a roof, such as around low drains, edges, scuppers and even as walk pads. Additional applications include providing extra protection around HVAC units, roof hatches and curbs.
The GreenSlope kit includes recycled ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM), flame-retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS), primer, adhesive and essential tools for installation. GreenSlope integrates smoothly with a wide array of roofing systems, from EPDM to metal and foam and is compatible with multiple topcoat options, including elastomerics and silicone. And installing GreenSlope can be done in a straightforward four-step process: preparing, mixing, priming and spreading.
GreenSlope offers practical advantages by reducing potential maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of flat roofs. With a blend of sustainability and effectiveness, this product presents a promising alternative for those seeking an efficient and eco-friendly way to combat flat roof drainage issues.
