APP supplies various non-woven fleeces,
appropriate for a range of applications, such as rooftop gardens,
garden projects and road building. The production of APP non-woven
fleeces is tested according to the strict ISO 9001 quality
certificate. In addition, regular checks by independent testing
laboratories such as the TBU Germany confirm consistent fleece
quality. The products are made from polypropylene fibres, which are
bitumen resistant, and are biologically and chemically neutral, and
fulfil the demands of the Guidelines for the Planning, Execution and
Upkeep of Green Roof Sites (FLL).
APP separation fleece VLT-130
The VLT-130 PP non-woven fleece separates the
chemically incompatible layer on the roof and prevents sweating of
the PVC softening agent. On one side, it is thermally hardened,
rot-proof, and chemically and biologically neutral.
VLF-150 and VLF-200 Filter
Fleeces
These
polypropylene filter fleeces inhibit the leeching of fine particles
from the substrata into the drainage layer. Low weight by unit area
combined with high permeability permit a high rate of abstraction.
Their hydraulic properties are improved by thermal hardening on one
side. A variety of fleece weights may be used, dependent upon the
maximum load required. The filter layers may also be used on
inverted roofs.
Guidlines for Roof Gardens
"Sheets of non-woven fabrics laid as a filter
course must overlap by a minimum of 10cm, and they must be brought
up at the edge to beneath the surface of the vegetation support
course" (FLL).
