With new technologies to promote Green Builiding, the excitement to make useable space of existing rooftops and/or new roofs to allow additional living space is evident. To create these spaces, the need to use light weight and recycled materials as well as help with stormwater management are key. Traditional drainage systems using pipe and stone are not plausible.
