Columbia Green Technologies introduces stormwater services

Columbia Green Technologies offers comprehensive green roofing solutions. We now are able to offer complimentary, project-specific stormwater calculations to help demonstrate return on investment for a green roof system. The dynamic model predicts runoff through our modular green roof systems. This information can be incorporated into the detention routing for the entire site. Using a green roof system for stormwater retention may allow the reduction of other costly stormwater treatment mechanisms, such as underground detention tanks.

Sure-Foot® walking surface is backed by a new limited lifetime warranty!

InterWrap has introduced a new updated Titanium® UDL25 roof underlayment. Titanium UDL25 is a highly engineered, mechanically attached, coated, woven synthetic roof underlayment designed for sloped roof systems. Unlike competing smooth-surfaced underlayments, the new UDL25 features InterWrap's patented slip-resistant Sure-Foot nodular walking surface technology that allows for easier steep-slope walkability even in wet or dusty conditions. UDL25's advanced polymers combine to deliver a unique gray synthetic roof underlayment that can be used under all types of primary roofing materials to replace 30-pound felt. Gray technology provides for a cooler working surface during installations and up to a six-month ultraviolet exposure. Go to www.interwrap.com/Titanium for more information.
