Intelligent waterproofing system for flat roofs
At April’s Techtextil trade fair held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, a Techtextil Innovation Award was presented to CITEVE, the Portuguese technological centre for the textile and clothing sector, for an intelligent, textile-reinforced waterproofing system for flat roofs.
The Smart Roofs System (SRS) consists of a thermally reflective, water-based liquid-sealing polymeric membrane and an intelligent textile reinforcement structure made from a jacquard fabric of recycled polyester, which contains electronic yarns that react to heat, temperature and moisture.
