ShieldBLU Blue Roof System

ShieldBLU roof system is a sustainable drainage solution. Exploiting the respective strengths of high engineered drainage systems and performance waterproofing solutions. Storm-water discharge is controlled at source, providing a valuable flood risk mitigation tool.

The ShieldBLU system is used as a heavy duty void former for temporary attenuation and filtration of rainwater roofing systems prior to controlled discharge to the surface water drainage system or to holding tanks for use as recycled rainwater run-off. By combining the ShieldLIVING variations and ShieldBLU systems, the retention of water in the landscaped area, i.e. plants, substrate and drainage/reservoir layer, complements the detention of storm-water by the ShieldBLU system to provide valuable additional drainage capacity.
