A combined drainage and water storage board, 50 mm deep, typically used in extensive green roof applications.
Install by loose laying directly onto the root resistant membrane (overlaid with a moisture resistant mat on sloped roofs only). The 30 mm diameter water storage holes must be uppermost (except when installing on slopes, when the 55 x 55 mm box sections must be uppermost). Butt joint the boards together. Panels can be cut with a heavy duty knife or a small toothed saw to fit around protrusions. Overlay with an appropriate filter sheet and substrate. On sloped roofs, use filter sheet at perimeters and around protrusions only.
Floratec FS50 is a lightweight drainage and water storage board, manufactured from partially recycled, CFC free, expanded polystyrene, used mostly in extensive green roof applications. The product allows aeration of the substrate; evaporation of stored water and multidirectional drainage on the underside. Can also be used upside down on sloping roofs up to 15°.
