== Systems and Products ==
ABG Building Solutions provides a full range of sustainable rooftop systems, organised across several product categories.
=== Blue Roof Systems ===
ABG's blue roof systems are designed to manage and regulate stormwater at source, helping buildings and developments meet Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) legislation. The blue roof range is available across multiple build-up depths and finishes, including green finish and hard landscape options across a range of build-up depths.
=== Green Roof Systems ===
ABG's green roof systems are available in biodiverse, extensive and intensive types, as well as biosolar systems that combine green roof and solar panel installations. Extensive green roofs are capable of retaining up to 80% of rainfall where it lands, helping achieve SuDS compliance and the creation of sustainable urban environments. Intensive systems accommodate deeper substrates suitable for more substantial planting and amenity roof gardens.
=== System Components ===
In addition to complete system solutions, ABG supplies individual system components, including Roofdrain and Deckdrain drainage boards, protective and filter geotextiles, void formers, growing media, sedum and wildflower blankets, and inspection and restrictor chambers.
== Design Services ==
ABG Building Solutions offers PI-covered project design for rooftop stormwater drainage systems. The company's design team works with architects, engineers and developers to design and specify the full system build-up above the waterproofing layer to meet surface water reduction targets or discharge consent limits.
