The photovoltaic boom in Germany continues. In 2024, the mark of one million newly commissioned PV systems was exceeded once again. Relaxed building regulations and greening obligations have also increased the demand for green roofs. To increase the service life of roofs and PV systems and prevent damage to the sensitive roofing membranes, building protection layers made from recycled tyre rubber granulate are the first choice.
Flat roofs offer ideal conditions for the installation of photovoltaic systems, which place special demands on the roof waterproofing. Structural protection layers made of tyre rubber granulate were designed for the safe, long-term operation of PV and solar systems on flat roofs. They offer a durable, sustainable and effective solution for preventing damage and ensuring that PV systems remain in position. The products are durable, can withstand high mechanical loads and are quick and easy to install.
Weatherproof building protection solutions made from tyre rubber granulate
Green roofs make a significant contribution to ecological balance in urban areas. Weatherproof building protection solutions made of tyre rubber granulate offer comprehensive protection for roof waterproofing by protecting against mechanical damage and climatic influences. The protective layers are frost and weather resistant, rot-proof and offer a high drainage effect. The sustainable rubber mats combine protective and drainage layers and are an environmentally friendly solution made from up to 95 % recycled material.
The regular maintenance of photovoltaic systems on flat roofs places special demands on the roof structure. Maintenance paths must be clearly visible, slip-resistant and permanently functional - without damaging the sensitive roof waterproofing. Roof and walkway slabs made from recycled rubber granulate offer a durable, practical and sustainable solution for this - especially in comparison to concrete slabs.
Anti-fouling mats for green roofs and PV systems
Flat roofs with greenery and/or PV systems pose challenges once they have been completed. Unwanted root and plant growth along maintenance paths, in technical zones or under solar installations can have a negative visual and functional impact. Sustainable anti-fouling mats made of tyre rubber granulate prevent unwanted vegetation by depriving it of UV light, effectively suppressing root and plant growth under the mat. Water drainage - waterlogging is prevented and the greenery remains vital.
