Attenuation
- 75-80% attenuation takes place in Summer and 25-40% in Winter.
- Proven SUDS technique.
- Successfully recreates an environment previously at ground level.
- Reduces impact on storm drains and sewers and lessens risks of flooding.
Insulation
- Cools buildings in summer and insulates them in winter.
- Will help provide natural air conditioning to the building.
- Protects the roof from UV radiation and extends its lifespan.
- Protects the roof from damage caused by wind, rain and hail.
- Will help reduce noise pollution by reducing sound levels being transmitted through its surface.
Environmental
- Will contribute to the reduction of CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
- Will provide a habitat for a rich variety of wildlife.
- Will promote a safe environment for protected species.
- Can absorb between 10-20% of airborne dust and toxic particles.
- Will reduce the Urban Heat Island effect by lowering the roof surface temperatures.
Recycled materials
- All components have had a previous life therefore reducing impact on environment.
- 90% recycled, rebounded, cfc free open pore polyurethane foam impregnated with nutrients.
- 65-75% recycled Extensive soil substrate containing brick, clay and bark.
Economic
- Increased energy efficiency through improved insulation.
- Protection for the roof membrane thereby extending its life - Overall reduction in the whole of life costs of your roof.
Lightweight
- Weighing just 56 kg/m² fully saturated, Urban Lifetile is one of the lightest systems on the market.
- Suitable for use on lightweight structures such as ply and metal deck roofs as well as concrete and wood.
