Showcasing award winning system at Expo in Dublin
This weekend saw the 5th annual Architecture and Building Show at the RDS in Dublin. Bauder was there to exhibit a variety of flat roof systems including the BauderBLUE SuDS solution which won the Architect’s choice award last year.
The Bauder stand featured a stripped back display to show clearly the products used in a BauderBLUE system and the way in which they work together to attenuate storm water. An animation accompanied the build up to show how the system operates during wet weather, heavy rain and in a severe storm situation.
BauderBLUE system
The products used in a blue roof sit in layers above either
hot melt or
bituminous waterproofing. A typical build up would comprise:
The BauderBLUE water attenuation system can also be upgraded with
green and PV elements. Bauder has a unique solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting system, BioSOLAR, that is specifically designed to allow the combination of biodiverse green roofs and solar PV whilst having the ability to be installed atop the SuDS blue roof void construction.
The PV system utilises the green roof substrate as ballast removing the need for penetrating the waterproofing to secure the mounting units to the roof and ensuring that the entire roof area can be considered a biodiverse green roof. The void structure beneath allows free-flowing multi-directional water movement to specifically engineered outlets that restrict the total allowable water discharge to meet planning requirements.

blue roof section. Also, look out for our feature on blue roofs in Irish Building magazine next month.

Bauder returns to the Irish Architecture Expo 2019
Bauder will be returning to Ireland’s Architecture Expo on the 4
th and 5
th of October where we will be showcasing waterproofing, acoustic insulation and blue roofs.
The Architecture & Building Expo is a well-established construction and design exhibition which brings together the industry’s top architects, specifiers and other design professionals. The exhibition has more than doubled in size since 2014 which has meant expanding to the prestigious Main Hall at the RDS and will again run alongside the RIAI Annual Conference.
Join Martin Bermingham, Francie Thornton and Saul May, Bauder’s Irish representatives who have years of experience within the flat roofing industry having worked on numerous new build and refurbishment projects such as:
- Scoil Phadraig: 2300m² new build project in Westport, County Mayo using Bauder’s Thermofol single ply system with acoustic insulation.
- Oughterard School: 3400m² new build project in Galway using Bauder’s Thermofol single ply system with profiles.
- Bord Gais Networks: 2900m² new build project in Dublin using our Bauder Total Green Roof System with soft landscaping and sedum blanket.
