For more information go to http://www.icb.uk.com/roof-gardens/EvaGreen/ Planted with sedum with the option of additional pathways for user access, EvaGreen® extensive roofs are especially low maintenance and often do not require irrigation. They offer all of the environmental and structural advantages of intensively planted rooftops with naturalistic plant styles that are for the most part self-supporting.

EVADRAIN TECHNICAL DATA:To be used as a water retention and drainage layer on extensive, semi-intensive and intensive green roofs. A black, double-sided water, reservoir and multi-directional drainage board with precise 2 mm, diffusion openings in the centre of each of the crowns of the studs peaking at the top side of the board. The board is 25 mm in thick and is made of recycled high impact polystyrene. The product is CE marked.

Size: 1910x955x25 mm (LxWxH) [EN ISO 9863-1:2005].

Weight: 1.38 kg/m² [EN ISO 9864:2005].

Retention capacity (water): 4 litres/m² .

Retention capacity (crushed brick infill): 12.5 litres/m².

Maximum load pressure (empty) at 10 % compression: 525 kN/m [EN ISO 802:1995]. Maximum load pressure (4-8 mm gravel infill) at 2 10 % compression: > 790 kN/m [EN ISO 802:1995].

Water discharge capacity at i = 0.01 i.e. at roof slope 1%: 0.80 litres/(mxs) i = 0.02 i.e. at roof slope 2%: 1.40 litres/(mxs); i = 0.03 i.e at roof slope 3%: 1.85 litres/(mxs); nd i = 1 i.e. at roof slope 100%: 15.38 litres/(mxs) [EN ISO 12958:2010].

Rate of drainage through 2 perforations under 5 mm permanent water pressure: 0.092 litres/m [EN ISO 11058:2010].

Microbiological resistance test: Minimum 25 years as per conditions set in the standard [EN 12225:2000].

The drainage performance and the attenuation of storm-water runoff reduction of EvaDrain 25 exceeds the requirements set forth in German Building Standard DIN 4095, EN 3252:2000 /A1:2005, and the German FLL Guidelines.
