Specialist Blue Roof Systems for Commercial & Industrial Developments
Best Roofers installs Bauder-approved blue roof systems across Bolton and the wider North West. These systems are used on flat roofs where rainwater needs to be controlled rather than sent straight into the drains.
Most blue roof projects involve commercial, industrial or public sector buildings. They’re often specified on larger sites and built-up areas where managing surface water is part of the planning requirements, not just an added extra.
How Blue Roofs Work
A blue roof holds rainwater on the roof for a short time instead of releasing it all at once. The water drains away slowly, which helps reduce pressure on existing drainage during heavy rainfall.
Some blue roofs are also set up to reuse stored water. This depends on the building, but the water can be used for things like irrigation or cooling systems where suitable.
Bauder Blue Roof Systems - Proven Technology, Reliable Performance
STORMsub – Combined Green & Blue Roof Benefits
STORMsub combines water retention with the option to support green roof build-ups. It’s often used on projects where both drainage control and environmental considerations are part of the design.
STORMcell – High-Capacity Water Retention
STORMcell is used where a roof needs to store larger volumes of water. It creates space beneath the roof surface to hold water safely before it is released, making it suitable for large developments and sites with higher flood risk.
STORMvoid – Invisible but Effective
STORMvoid is installed beneath paving or terrace areas and manages stormwater without changing how the roof looks. It’s commonly used where drainage control is required but the roof finish needs to remain unchanged.
