Porosity for the urban surface to breathe - without leaks
Transpiration is the key to regulating the temperature of any living surface.
Kaatop sought inspiration from nature to incorporate irrigation and pores into a watertight building material to promote bioactive cooling in your home - in other words, in addition to heating up less, the plants grown will help cool your home.
Multifunctionality and practical application in several areas of quality of life and sustainability: thermal and acoustic comfort, gardening, landscaping, horticulture and urban agriculture, water conservation, biophilia and biodiversity niches, reduction of heat island formation (relative humidity, temperature, dust) and CO2 capture and storage.
Capillarity to bring life
to the city's skin
How can we efficiently transport water to the tops of buildings and structures? Once again, we looked to nature for the answer. Just as a tree transports water and nutrients to the top of its canopy, Kaatop combines its unique integrated circuit board irrigation with well-known low-flow irrigation and fertigation systems to nourish and supply water to the plants growing on its roof.
No waste, low energy consumption.
The evolution of a product you already know
Sometimes innovation is simply about improving what already works. That's why all the technology built into Kaatop is delivered to you in the form of a product that the construction industry is already familiar with: sandwich tiles. The assembly, fitting and fixing are done in exactly the same way as conventional sandwich tiles and panels.
Irrigation circuit board
Kaatop has an exclusive internal irrigation circuit board, designed to distribute water in a controlled manner, while reducing the weight of the cover.
Planting with seedlings or seeds
Whether for a detailed landscaping project or for producing fresh, 0Km food, Kaatop allows you to transform the empty space on your roof into an asset for well-being and quality of life.
