== Products and Systems ==
ABG supplies a comprehensive range of sustainable rooftop systems, organised across several product categories.
=== Blue Roof Systems ===
The blue roof range are designed to manage and regulate stormwater at source, supporting compliance with SuDS requirements and surface water discharge consent limits. Systems are available across multiple build-up depths and finishes, including pedestrian and trafficable hard landscape options as well as green finish systems.
=== Green Roof Solutions ===
ABG's green roof systems span extensive, intensive and biodiverse formats, as well as solar-integrated options. ABG's extensive green roofs can retain up to 80% of annual rainfall, helping achieve sustainable urban drainage and flood risk reduction. Intensive green roof systems accommodate deeper substrates capable of supporting more substantial planting and amenity roof gardens.

Alongside complete system solutions, ABG manufactures and supplies individual system components, including Roofdrain and Deckdrain drainage boards, protective and filter geotextiles, void formers, growing media, sedum and wildflower blankets, and inspection and restrictor chambers.

ABG offers professionally indemnified design services for blue roof and green roof projects. The company's design team works with architects, engineers and developers to design and specify the full system build-up above the waterproofing layer to achieve the required surface water attenuation performance.
