New System- Stormwater roofs! With the climate change comes heavy rainfalls and storms our urbanised cities are not equipped for. The water management systems we have in our densely populated cities are not adapted to the weather changes. The huge amount of water has nowhere to go. We can see it as floodings of streets. Urbangreen has developed a new system for stormwater management. Instead of sedum on the roofs you have a construction that among other include materials that retains water and materials that are recycled. It is a cost-effective system that can retain up to 25 litre stormwater/sq. m and is best suited on low angled roofs. This system is perfect for roofs that are being covered of solar cells or roofs that needs to be built in the winter season. For roofs with solar cells it means that no other water solutions in connection to the building needs to be constructed. Pros with our new system: - Simple construction that can be build all year around - Environmentally advantageous due to reduced transportation - The water retaining capacity is three times better than the tradition sedum roof - It protects the roof layer against UV- radiation - This system is faster to install than regular sedum mats. - Suits roofs with solar cells Cons with our system: - Does not purify the stormwater as sedum does - The effect on the biodiversity is lost in this system Read about or system (in Swedish) : https://urbangreen.se/produkt/dagvattentak/ Read the interview with our sales and product manager (in Swedish) https://urbangreen.se/sa-fungerar-vart-dagvattentak/
