  • BMI Waterproofing system and Green Roof compatibility
  • Single-source full system design and specification

Combining storm water management with ecology

A BMI green roof system can be specified in conjunction with the BMI Blue Roof water attenuation design in order to combine the ecological benefits of a green roof with the sustainability and high performance drainage and stormwater management advantages provided by the blue roof system.

Benefits of a Blue Roof

Single Source Responsibility

Single Source Responsibility

BMI as a single source provider eliminates the significant risk of problems occurring over liability should the integrity of the waterproofing be compromised. Our multi-product portfolio includes reinforced bitumen systems, single-ply and solvent-free liquid applied waterproofing which allows us to specify without any bias the correct solution for the roof in question.
