- System Summary
- SKYWATER® Ballasted Hybrid Systems by SOPREMA® are a combination of blue roof and green roof. This system reduces the volume of rainwater sent to the sewer in addition to decreasing its flow. Water is absorbed by the SOPRANATURE® vegetated system as well as by SOPRARETENTIO BOARD, providing a higher retention capacity than a green roof alone.
