System Summary
SKYWATER® SOPRAFLOW CONTROL Hybrid Systems by SOPREMA® are a combination of blue roof and green roof. This assembly offers the manufacturer's best water retention capacity of the SKYWATER®systems available. Rainwater is retained both in the SOPRANATURE® vegetated roof and in the SOPRARETENTIO MODULE, which is located under the vegetated roof. This system makes it possible to reduce the volume of water as well as the flow discharged to the sewer, because of the use of the SOPRAFLOW CONTROL flow regulator..
