Green roof
XF Retain
enhances water management of green roof systems
overview
Detains and retains runoff, storing rainwater for the plants to use and stormwater management.
Water retention fleece
Our water retention fleece is a nonwoven made of 100% recycled synthetic and natural fibres. Lightweight and highly absorbent, it can capture over 6 times its own weight in water. It is an ideal solution for enhancing a green roof's water retention capacity without incurring significant loading.
Hygroscopic mineral wool
Mineral wool has been used extensively as substrates in hydropronics. We adapted this horticultural approach by incorporating mineral wool mat to store water and nutrients in green roof systems. It can capture over 10 times its own weight in water and releases the excess after a time delay.
OTHER FEATURES
Synthetic, non-rotting and durable.
Effective water capture and nutrient storage.
Superb water-retention-to-weight ratio for stormwater management.
Lightweight, flexible and cut to shape.
Soil-free options for rainwater harvesting and grey water reuse.
