Discover the future of green roofing with Atlantis Drainage Cell.
Are you ready to turn your rooftop into a vibrant and eco-friendly oasis? The Atlantis Green Roof System is your ticket to a lush, sustainable and visually stunning rooftop garden that's not only a sight to behold but also an environmental game-changer.
The Atlantis Drainage Cell is at the core of this revolutionary system, designed to provide vegetation with the ideal conditions for flourishing:
1. Optimal Moisture and Aeration: The Atlantis Drainage Cell is a game-changer, offering the perfect balance of moisture and aeration. It only removes excess water, allowing your soil profile to maintain high moisture content. This creates an environment where your plants can thrive year-round.
2. Water Storage Cups: What sets Atlantis apart is its innovative water storage cups. These cups act as a reservoir, providing passive irrigation for your plants. Say goodbye to the constant hassle of watering, and embrace a more sustainable and efficient solution!
3. Structural Design for Growth: Thanks to its unique structural design, the Atlantis Drainage Cell creates void spaces, fostering the growth of robust root systems. Your green roof will teem with life and vitality, making it a true green paradise.
But the Atlantis Drainage Cell is not just a one-trick pony. It offers a range of additional benefits:
- Protective Membrane: Atlantis Drainage Cell doubles as a protective membrane, ideal for waterproofing on concrete slabs and walls. This ensures the durability and longevity of a building, protecting it from the elements.
- Ventilation: Bid farewell to heat-induced stress and cracking in concrete slabs. The Atlantis Drainage Cell provides essential ventilation, improving the overall climate control and energy efficiency of your building.
One shining example of the Atlantis Green Roof System's success is the Museum of Old & New Art (MONA). In 2017, MONA unveiled their new cantilevered wing, Pharos, featuring an Atlantis solution for the grassed roof area. Completed in May 2018, the project included the installation of Atlantis 20mm drainage cells, covered by a water-permeable geotextile, compacted washed river sand, good permeable soil, and Atlantis Turf Cell® 52mm drainage cells.
What's truly remarkable is how Atlantis fosters intimate contact between roots and soil within the 52mm drainage cell. The high structural strength of the Atlantis Turf Cell® 52mm drainage cell allows pedestrian traffic without soil compaction, ensuring vigorous horizontal and vertical root growth. This resulted in a lush lawn that permits surface water absorption and infiltration, with the Atlantis 20mm under drain ensuring proper drainage.
If MONA trusts Atlantis for their green roof needs, you can too! Whether you're an eco-conscious homeowner, a commercial developer, or an architect looking to make a statement, Atlantis Green Roof System is your gateway to a greener, more sustainable future.
