Active roof systems

Our pitched roof solar solutions go far beyond simply adding panels to a roof. Designed to integrate with the tiles, insulation and other components, BMI premium pitched in-roof solutions feature a special substructure allows them to sit harmoniously within the tile system to deliver clean energy without compromising on aesthetics. Meanwhile our high-performance flat collectors, with improved efficiency and optimised design, offer extreme weather resistance and high yields – even in the dark months of winter.

Heavy rainfall and uncontrolled water runoff can cause huge amounts of damage in cities due to flooding. BMI’s sustainable blue roof drainage solutions can temporarily retain rainwater whilst maintaining full exploitation of the roof terrace, without the need for a holding tank or pumping device. These systems can be combined with green roofs for a self-sustaining natural roof.

With a self-watering green roof and terraces, the L'Oreal Hair Research Centre in Paris reflects the company’s dedication to responsible business practice.

The pigments in our Protegon concrete roof tiles reflect 300% more infrared rays than traditional tiles. This means they can help keep roofs and surrounding areas cooler and thus can improve the comfort levels in living spaces.

For large, flat roofed buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals and industrial premises, our specialist range of highly-reflective white waterproofing membranes reflect solar radiation to create what is often called a ‘cool roof’. These are particularly useful in sunny countries as they do not absorb as much heat as dark roof materials, reducing the energy demand from air-cooling units and thermal stress on the roof system.
