The Solution
Fosroc India proposed a complete waterproofing solution for landscape waterproofing with Proofex PGP system.A successful, functional and aesthetic landscape can only be delivered throughholistic design of a complete system. Inappropriate interface, poor installation, andinadequate product selection can create weak points that are expensive to correct.
Waterproofing
The waterproofing membrane forms the core part of the landscape and must provide permanent barrier that retains long-term resistance to root penetration
Selection of membrane type must consider factors such as structural loading, substrate type and material, fixing preferences and design detailing. This detailingto perimeters, outlets, upstands and protrusions through the podium slab & depth of the green roof build up. Durabality of the waterproofing system is one of the key factor in selection of Proofex PGP system
Drainage System
The second key design consideration is the drainage requirement. For flat orshallow green roofing particularly, care must be taken to ensure that rainwater isadequately drained to prevent potentially harmful poolingPRODUCTS
