Description
SOPRARETENTIO MAT is a capillary mat composed of new, non-woven polyester fibers.
UNITS PER SKID: 20
Material Use:
SOPRARETENTIO MAT is a capillary water retention mat designed for use in green roofing systems, roof gardens, and plaza-deck applications. It is specifically engineered to retain and manage water within vegetative roofing assemblies, contributing to stormwater management and plant health.
System Components:
SOPRARETENTIO MAT is typically used as part of the SOPRANATURE vegetative roofing system. It functions in conjunction with other SOPREMA components such as drainage layers, root barriers, filter fabrics, and growing media. While the mat itself does not require primers or coatings, it is a passive component that integrates into a multi-layered green roof system.
Applications:
This material is ideal for use in SOPRANATURE green roofs, roof gardens, and plaza-decks where water retention and capillary action are required to support vegetation. It is suitable for both flat and sloped installations, with performance data provided for slopes ranging from 3% to 20%.
Application Details:
SOPRARETENTIO MAT is installed by unrolling it directly onto the substrate surface. Joints should not be overlapped. The mat is laid flat and should be covered with the appropriate overlying system components such as soil or growing media. No adhesives or mechanical fasteners are required for installation.
