Green Roof Waterproofing
The world is heading towards a green future, more focused on a friendly environment for people and protecting the natural environment. This is reflected in the increasingly popular use of green roofs, which are not only a very attractive space for the user, but also have many other advantages, such as:
- additional thermal insulation of the building – reduction of both heating costs in winter and air conditioning costs in summer,
- reduction and delay of rainwater runoff into the sewage system (lower “rainwater tax” applicable in some municipalities),
- helping to improve air quality by reducing CO2 ,
- helps to quieten the interior thanks to high absorption properties,
- reducing the undesirable “urban heat island” effect.
Green roof membrane
Hyperdesmo® PB-2K is a liquid membrane for a green roof . It is a two-component product, easy to apply, creating a uniform and seamless coating with elasticity unattainable for other solutions (extensibility 2000%). These parameters make the Hyperdesmo® PB-2K green roof membranes completely resistant to plant root penetration, making them ideal for insulating roofs with a garden . Application in one or two layers using a spray or roller (minimum consumption 1.5-2.0 kg/m2).
The benefits of a green roof made of liquid membrane
Specialized HYPERDESMO® preparations enable modern waterproofing of roofs with gardens. They work perfectly in all weather conditions – they have been developed to be resistant to UV radiation, extremely high and low temperatures and the pressure of standing water. Another innovation is the method of application of our liquid roofing membranes , thanks to which the coating is free of joints, which additionally increases its durability and mechanical strength – especially in places where elements such as antennas or air conditioners are installed. Devices installed on roofs with a liquid membrane are much less susceptible to damage than those installed on traditional systems. No wonder that waterproofing of roofs with a garden in the HYPERDESMO® liquid membrane system is gaining more and more supporters around the world.
