ABG Building Solutions provides a full range of rooftop drainage systems and components, spanning several product categories.
=== Blue Roof Systems ===
The blue roof range are designed to manage and regulate stormwater at source, supporting compliance with Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) legislation. The blue roof range is available in a variety of configurations, including green finish and hard landscape options across a range of build-up depths.

ABG's green roof systems span extensive, intensive and biodiverse configurations, including solar-integrated options. ABG's extensive green roofs are capable of retaining up to 80% of rainfall where it lands, contributing to sustainable urban drainage and flood risk reduction. Intensive systems support deeper growing media suitable for more substantial planting and amenity roof gardens.

ABG provides professionally indemnified design services for rooftop stormwater drainage systems. ABG's team of designers collaborates with architects, engineers and developers to design and specify the full system build-up above the waterproofing layer to meet surface water reduction targets or discharge consent limits.
