ISO-DRAIN dimpled sheet for roof garden construction –
What types to use, why and where?
The buzzword of morn times is "green" – and green construction is sustainable construction. The goal is to
optimize eco-compatibility over the building's entire lifetime, minimize energy and natural resource consumption,
reduce environmental impact and therefore make the world a healthier place to live in. While sometimes difficult
to envision, increasing environmental compatibility of buildings by green design can be much less expensive than
one might expect. Conventional eco-friendly construction focusses solely on use of renewable resources – for
example, sunlight for room illumination. Green roofs with plant life and trees go a step further, making a meaningful
contribution towards sustainability and efficient energy usage in these times of climate change and natural resource
shortages. Roof gardens not only improve thermal insulation of building structures, they provide useful
areas e.g. for pets and wildlife as well as biotopes.
For information about ISO-DRAIN dimpled sheet products, their optimum application fields and their special
features making them best suited for these fields, please read on in this brochure. All have one thing in common:

buildings. They let you experience nature anywhere – with nothing added except safety.
