The Fatra ballasted green roof system incorporates the Fatrafol 810v PVC membrane waterproofing system with the Fatra Armour protection layer, Fatra drainage cell, filter fabric and vegetation layer to create the perfect ballasted green roof system. The FatraTex geotextile fabric is installed over the existing failed membrane to protect the Fatrafol 810v PVC membrane.
The specifications for the different layers will depend on the clients objectives, requirements and project specific specifications.
Fatra provide all components for green roof projects making it simple and convenient for our approved contractors.
The Fatrafol PVC membranes are tested to FLL standards and are proven to withstand root penetration from the most aggressive roots such as birch and oak trees. No additional protection layers or root resistant coatings are required unlike traditional bitumen and liquid membranes.
Fatrafol membranes are 100% recyclable and can be made using up to 30% recycled materials making Fatra waterproofing membranes the most sustainable and environmentally friendly waterproofing membranes on the market today.
The Fatra Armour protection mat is installed directly over the PVC membrane to provide protection to the waterproofing system from any sharp edges and pertruding items which might be present in the green roof overlaying finishes
The Fatrafol 810v reinforced membrane is installed over the FatraTex geotextile protection layer. The Fatrafol 810v is loose laid over the protection layer and is ballasted into place by the desired ballast.
FatraTex geo-textile fabric is loose laid over the existing failed membrane to provide protection to the Fatrafol PVC membrane from any potential contaminants which maybe present in the existing membrane.
