Canopia Protection Fleece 300 is used as a separation and protection layer to reduce any point loadings on the waterproofing membrane that sits below it.

Canopia Drainage Board 20 is used as a water reservoir and drainage board.

Canopia Fliter Fleece 105 is used as a filter fleece to reduce the amount of fines particles reaching the drainage layer, and as a separation layer betwen pebble borders and the growing substrate.
