The AirDrain geocell adds valuable LEED Points to any green roof project with a unique design and 100% post-manufactured recycled content. Lightweight at only 3 pounds per 7 square feet, and rated at 33,552 psf, AirDrain is the ideal drainage medium for rooftop applications whether decorative or in constant use. Move water rapidly or capture it for retention, and know that no other product stacks and ships more compactly, reducing the number of trucks and the amount of fuel required to transport to the green roof job site.

Green Roofing With AirDrain GeoCell

Green roofing is a fantastic way to reduce the heat island effect of urban areas while creating enjoyable spaces for residents and employees. Utilizing the AirField System as the drainage layer in a green roof design allows a complete inch of water storage space beneath the entire surface, plus incredible strength and light weight. The AirField geocell is also easy to work with, install and fashion in unique layouts.

Build a better green roof with AirField.





Benefits of AirField in a green roofing system include:

• 100% vertical drainage under entire surface
• Manufactured with 100% recycled material
• Rapid water movement
• Minimal site disturbance
• Fast installation
• Light weight
• Incredible load bearing strength
• Tested at 233 psi / 33,552 psf
• Reduces surface temperature

The environmental impact of a green roof is undenyable, and adds significantly to the LEED Point system designed by the USGC in all five major areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green roofing replaces the green space displaced by a building, prevents excess stormwater drainage, reduces the temperature of a building and the urban heat island effect, protects and extends the useful life of a roof, and reduce energy demands. What's more, a green roof incorporating AirDrain means your design includes renewable, recycled, and locally obtained materials. We know you have a choice in designing a green roof, and we hope you consider the many benefits of AirDrain.
