Hydrotech's philosophy is that the future is not just about building and developing but on taking responsibility for the future. It is about limiting the impact of the building process. The following is an excerpt from their website exhibiting the benefits of their green roofs.
-
System cools microclimate, thereby mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect, ultimately helping lower urban infrastructure maintenance costs.
-
Garden Roof retains as much as 90% of storm water, allowing for smaller detention tanks, and decreasing stormwater run-off to manageable levels.
If you'd like to find out approximately how much water your garden roof will retain, please contact Hydrotech for our latest Stormwater Retention Calculator.
The system’s benefits don’t stop there. They extend back to the manufacturing of the components themselves – lowering the total environmental impact by using post-consumer recycled content:
-
Our environmental grade rubberized asphalt roofing/waterproofing, MM6125®EV, contains a minimum of 25% post-consumer recycled content – and offers the same time-tested effectiveness as the standard MM6125.
-
Gardendrain™ and Floradrain®, the system's water retention/drainage components, contains 100% post-consumer recycled polyethylene.
-
Moisture Mat, which provides additional water retention, is also made of post consumer recycled content - non-rotting polypropylene fibers, to be exact.
