Hemelwater Retentie Paneel
The Rainwater Retention Panel is an innovative ceramic façade panel designed to capture and store excess rainwater, helping to prevent damage to sewers and infrastructure.
The panel’s porous structure allows the water to evaporate gradually, cooling both the façade and the surrounding environment—an essential feature during increasingly hot summers. Additionally, the façade promotes the growth of moss, which enhances urban biodiversity.
This system not only helps regulate water during heavy rainfall but also reduces the urban heat island effect. The combination of water storage and evaporation makes the panel suitable for both new construction and renovations. By retaining water on the façade, microhabitats for insects are created, which play a crucial role in the food chain.
