| Reinventing the traditional vegetated roof for detention |
| |
| Traditional vegetated roofs achieve retention by holding a certain amount of rainfall onsite. After retention is maximized, additional rainfall drains through as quickly as it falls. Detention technology takes over where retention capacity ends. Detention helps manage the excess rainfall onsite by slowly releasing it to prepare for the next event, within a matter of hours or days. Now, a detention layer in vegetated roof systems helps manage the excess stormwater runoff onsite by mimicking friction found in watersheds and aquifers.

Composite stone alternatives represent an emerging category, as they are easier to install and maintain and have the added benefits of moisture impermeability and colourfastness. |
