This project utilised 1,500m2 of Hydrotech Hot Melt Waterproofing and Blackdown Green Roof
NatureMat. NatureMat is a vegetated mat consisting of a biodegradable
base layer, a specially formulated substrate layer and a 90% mature
plant cover comprising of 6 core species (predominantly Sedums) along
with 13 randomly sown species. All grown to maturity in Blackdowns’s own
fields in Somerset.
A roofing system was needed that would provide students with an
environmentally beneficial solution that would help improve their lives.
NatureMat provides that solution by helping clean the air from
surrounding pollution and contributing to the required acoustic and
thermal properties needed for this project.
Another benefit of this system is that the location in Glamorgan
receives high levels of rainfall, therefore a system was needed that
could absorb high levels of rainwater and deal with it effectively –
Blackdown NatureMat is highly efficient in absorbing rainwater and along
with Hydrotech Hot Melt Waterproofing having Zero Product Failures in
over 50 years this system will provide the sports hall with a long,
reliable and efficient Flat Roof solution for the long term.
