Austech has recognised a new market in the Green Roof industry. As a proud supplier of
Foamular we are here to help get the most out of your environmentally friendly
project. Green roof gardens are becoming an increasingly popular roofing option
for concrete roofs, with many modern cities demanding a percentage total of all
roof space be green! A Green Roof made from Austech’s
Foamular can have several
key benefits such as:
1. Improving
Air Quality
2. Benefits
to biodiversity and surrounding wildlife
3. Energy
conservation through improved thermal performance
4. Noise
and sound Insulation
Green Roofs provide some insulation
from the soil and plants, but to achieve the adequate R – value levels, added
insulation is critical. Foamular’s
Extruded Polystyrene is perfect due to its minimal water absorption and
high R-values.
It is simply placed below the soil,
but above the concrete, creating a continuous thermal barrier. Due to the high
compressive strengths of the Extruded Polystyrene, this enables heavy pressure
to be applied, and even with stand vehicular traffic.
Because the Extruded Polystyrene has no
nutritional value to the plants, animals or bacteria, it doesn’t become
degraded by their presence. Along with the very low water absorption potential
(virtually 100%) it can function even in the presence of moist growing
environments and water run- off areas.

Polystyrene, feel free to contact
