== Systems and Products ==
ABG Building Solutions provides a full range of rooftop drainage systems and components, organised across several product categories.
=== Blue Roof Systems ===
ABG's blue roof systems are designed to manage and regulate stormwater at roof level, helping buildings and developments meet Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) legislation. Systems are 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 span extensive, intensive and biodiverse configurations, including solar-integrated options. ABG's extensive green roofs are capable of retaining up to 80% of rainfall where it lands, contributing to SuDS compliance and the creation of sustainable urban environments. Intensive systems support deeper growing media suitable for more substantial planting and amenity roof gardens.
=== System Components ===
In addition to complete system solutions, ABG manufactures and 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.
== Technical and Design Services ==
ABG Building Solutions provides professionally indemnified design services for blue roof and green roof projects. ABG's team of designers collaborates with project architects and building engineers to calculate and specify the full system build-up above the waterproofing layer to achieve the required surface water attenuation performance.
