System/Material Acceptance and Product Details The information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual and offered below does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer’s data or specifications, nor is this system and its various materials recommended or endorsed by the Guarantor. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the Design Authority.
Vegetated Roof System Manufacturer https://www.nlsm.ca/ Accepted for the RoofStar Guarantee Program October 25, 2024 Accepted for application in Vegetated Roof Systems Acceptance Criteria Refer to the RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs System Summary StormCap™ is designed by Next Level Stormwater Management as a superior water retaining pre-vegetated system absorbing 67 l/m², a high water retention-to-weight ratio. Engineered growing media is a proprietary mix of lightweight minerals and organic components that encourages microbial soil health, healthier plants, reduces irrigation, and reduces the potential need for fertilizers. The Needled Mineral Hydro Blanket is a non-petroleum based, formaldehyde-free product that holds up to 90% of its volume in water, making it very effective in capturing and storing rainwater without exerting excessive loading. Most components come in rolls for easy transport and install (adapted from the manufacturer's literature).
