Green Roofs
1” Drainage Cells are used as the drainage layer for green roofs. The Cells provide a permanent void space that efficiently drain excess water, hold small amounts of water in pockets, and provide an open air space that keeps the soil and roof cooler.
Retaining Walls
Eco-Rain 1” Drainage Cells provide a permanent, sturdy (306.8 psi) true void space that eliminates hydrostatic pressure against the retaining wall.
