De drainage and reservoir boards

APP offers various drainage boards for extensive and intensive rooftop garden projects. All drainage boards are made from high-quality recycled materials. External laboratories, whose tests adhere to the most stringent requirements, confirm this quality.

"The drainage course contains sufficient space to take up any excess water, which it then channels to the roof outlets. Provided suitable materials are used, this course can also act as a water reservoir, and it can both increase the space for root-growth and protect the underlying structure" (FLL).


 

Advantages

  • The most widespread solution, due to its optimal technical values regarding water retention, load-bearing capacity and drainage.
  • Water-retentiveness, ventilation and drainage of excess water in one go
  • Great load-bearing capacity augmented by the egg-box structure.
  • Eco-friendly recycled plastic material
  • Low weight and installation height compared
    with mineral drinage layers
  • Easy, quick installation
  • Economical delivery and storage format, because the sheets can be packed together without leaving any spaces

Installation
Advice

The drainage boards are generally laid adjacent one another on a protection membrane. On roofs with a minimal pitch, the boards should be laid with an overlap of one to two rows. In order to prevent the silting away of the roof garden, a filter layer of 130-200 g/m2 needs to be added. The substrata lay on top of this, and these are topped by the vegetation layer.


 

 

DiaDrain-60

Recommended for use in intensive roof gardens with a medium to high regularity of use, e.g. public terraces, rooftop playgrounds, subterranean garages, exotic gardens, etc.

 

DiaDrain-40

For installation in multi-layered intensive roof-gardens with a low to medium regularity of use, e.g. private garden patios, roof walkways, roofgardens with water features etc.

 

DiaDrain-25

Recommended for use in Multi-layered extensive roofgardens and for directly under terrace tiles.
