Blueskin wp 200 is a self adhering composite membrane consisting of an sbs rubberized asphalt compound.
Blue roof membrane.
The membrane is specifically designed to be self adhered to a prepared substrate providing a high performance waterproofing barrier.
The bauderblue roof system can be constructed at either rooftop or podium level.
These designs utilize a roofing membrane or waterproofing system as the primary water detention structure.
Maintenance of blue roof systems focuses on the periodic removal of sediment and debris from outlet and storage areas in order to prevent clogging and limit deterioration of the roof membrane.
Blue roofs can be situated above the waterproofing membrane in a warm roof system or above the water flow reducing layer in an inverted application at both roof and podium levels.
Blue roofs are constructed on flat or low sloped roofs in urban communities where flooding is a risk due to a lack of permeable surfaces for water to infiltrate or seep back into the ground.
A blue roof can be created on a typical hydrotech pmr protected membrane roof assembly utilizing standard loose stone for ballast.
The designed void space between the flat roof waterproofing membrane and hard or soft landscaping finish allows the stormwater to attenuate.
Using standard ballast stone the water in the blue roof is stored within the void spaces of the stone and to the required level above the ballast.
It is the simplest blue roof that can be created.
The waterproofing membrane for a blue roof must be able to tolerate more frequent ponding water events for longer durations.
A blue roof can be created at either roof or podium level or by combining both in a cascade design above the waterproofing membrane in a warm roof application and above the water flow reducing layer wfrl in an inverted application and should attenuate water for no more than a 24 hour period from the end of the maximum designed rainfall event.
The four primary blue roof types are described below.
Which is integrally laminated to a blue high density polyethylene film.
A blue roof is a roof of a building that is designed explicitly to provide initial temporary water storage and then gradual release of stored water typically rainfall.
Roof integrated designs roof integrated designs are built during new construction or modifications of existing roofs to intentionally store standing water over extended periods.
Using standard ballast stone the water in the blue roof is stored within the void spaces of the stone and to the required level above the ballast.
Waterproofing membranes with welded seams and monolithic membranes which have a proven performance history in similar applications are appropriate materials for blue roofs.
Maintenance activities can generally be performed by individual building owners or site maintenance staff as needed.
