Ecologically Responsible
At MAC we recognise that the environmental performance of a building can be as crucial as the other functions it fulfils. We acknowledge our responsibility to the environment and take steps to minimise our impact upon it.
On MAC projects we utilise the most sustainable products and installation techniques available and operate stringent quality control and working procedures to minimise waste of materials and energy during site installations.
We choose to partner with manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainability and actively promote a portfolio of environmentally-friendly waterproofing systems.
Green Roofs
Creating natural habitats for local wildlife to thrive
A green roof system (sometimes referred to as a living roof) incorporates a root barrier waterproofing layer which is then partially or completely covered with growing medium and vegetation. Intensive, extensive and biodiverse variants are available depending on the type of building and requirements of the project.
Blue Roofs
Sustainable rainwater attenuation systems
A blue roof is specifically designed to help store and control rainwater where it lands, allowing it to be accessed and used in a more measure way as and when required. They are particularly useful in areas where rainfall is less regular, or where local planning laws restrict the amount of rainwater that is allowed to leave a site.
Bio Solar Roofs
Integrated green roof system with photovoltaic energy panels
Bio solar roofs can combine the many benefits of living roof systems with the latest photovoltaic energy technology. In these systems the substrate and vegetation provide the ballasted installation mechanism needed to secure the PV array.
