TL-0004 — Slope Requirements
Technical Letter
GCP’s underlayments (GRACE ICE & WATER SHIELD , GRACE ICE & WATER SHIELD HT, GRACE ULTRA™, GRACE
SELECT™, GCP granular underlayment, Roof Detail Membrane™, TRI-FLEX and TRI-FLEX 15) are intended for use on
sloped roofs and are not intended to be used as waterproofing on flat roofs.
A good rule of thumb is that the product is appropriate at whatever slope is normally acceptable for the specific sloped
roof covering. For example, if the roof covering on a specific project is designed for slopes of 3 inches in 12 inches (7
cm in 30 cm) or higher, then GCP’s underlayments under that roof covering are also appropriate at slopes of 3 inches in
12 inches (7 cm in 30 cm) or higher.
GCP’s underlayments should not generally be used at slopes less than 2 inches in 12 inches (5 cm in 30 cm). Refer to
product data sheets for further details.
