AQUADESK
GREENROOF USING THE HYDROACCUMULATION PLATE AQUADESK IS A STEP INTO THE FUTURE
UNIQUE FEATURES
The main criteria for the development of AQUADESK material are the following:
EASY INSTALLATION
AQUADESK is one type of material, which addresses all details. This material can even be fully installed by a person without any qualifications. So, our green roof can be used without difficulty even when a family house is built by people on their own.
HIGH RESISTANCE TO MECHANICAL DAMAGE
AQUADESK is tested against puncture, punching, etc., while further tests for its durability are still ongoing. The 40 mm AQUADESK version is extremely resistant to all common mechanical effects and can be described as "almost indestructible" in this regard.
BALANCED DRAINAGE RETENTION PROPERTIES
e.g. a 40 mm AQUADESK material thickness in a 10° inclination can collect up to 20.05 litres of water per m2 of area.
HIGH USE VALUE - "PRICE / POWER" RATIO
From the very beginning of development, AQUADESK has been designed to be economically feasible for the widest possible spectrum of consumers.
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS
Thanks to its composition - up to 90 % recycled material without any chemical treatment - AQUADESK is environmentally friendly.
NASA, NEW YORK, USA
Absorbs up to 80 % of precipitation
A long-term study conducted by NASA in the city of New York in the US shows that the green roofs absorb approximately 80 % of the rainfall compared to approximately 2 % for standard roofs. In fact, the difference of the impact on the environment is "incomparable".



The working teams of RETEX a.s. and BUT successfully co-operate on the development of a civil engineering material, that could change the dynamics of implementing of the green roofs into the building industry in the Czech Republic. I really appreciate the effort of the AQUADESK material's authors to make the installation and the solution of all its details as easy as possible as they are always the most important parts of the final construction."

The name of our company, RETEX, was created by connecting of two words - "recycling textiles". Recycling isn't just the past and the present, but without any question it's also the future of our business, among other things thanks to the development of the hydroaccumulating plate AQUADESK, It's not just a brand new product of a great perspective, but it's also very environmentally-friendly. To us, AQUADESK is on of the synonyms for the future.

With retention and vegetation boards for green roofs I started the first experiments in 2015. The first commercial use then a year later. Since then, with these boards, I have realized about 1000 m2 of flat and 250 m2 of sloping roofs in to the full satisfaction of our customers. Working with the AQUADESK boards is very simple, fast and efficient. The roots of the plants grow through the substrate in to the boards, creating a very well-connected and compact vegetation over time..
