Taking the long view

Green Building

49x49More and more construction involves global considerations, both economic and environmental.

In the study and analysis of materials to be selected, economic parameters that respect ecological values are becoming increasingly important.

Durability - DERBIGUM is the ideal waterproofing membrane. Imagine: you reseal your roof half as often. Moreover, after 30 years the application of a new layer of DERBIGUM ensures that your customer’s roof will continue to last a very long time.

DERBIGUM contains no toxic chemicals, unlike the majority of synthetic products, which contain numerous additives dangerous for the environment and health.

DERBIGUM offers a range of water-based or low solvent adhesives for applying membranes.

The fact that the roof may be recycled at the end of its lifetime makes DERBIGUM an innovator.

DERBIBRITE considerably decreases the temperature inside the building. This improves interior comfort and boosts worker productivity during warm periods. Better still, you see a sharp drop in electricity costs due to the reduced need for air conditioning.

Thanks to DERBIGUM ARTE and DERBIBRITE, you can now also recover rain water. Neither DERBIGUM ARTE nor DERBIBRITE affects water pH, so recovered water is suitable for sanitary or gardening uses.

Roofs gardens also allow you to take a total environmental step: enhancing quality of life due to the thermal improvement of the building, through the reintroduction of nature into the urban environment.
