£217.79£181.49

Available in pallets of 6 units

BluWater Solutions High Strength Integrated Filtration, Retention and Drainage Layer – 8mm is a durable drainage and protection layer manufactured from recycled HDPE and bonded to a high-quality permeable geotextile. Designed to combine filtration, drainage, protection and water management within a single product, it provides a practical solution for a wide range of green infrastructure and landscaping applications.

Its enhanced load-bearing performance makes it particularly suitable for environments exposed to high point loads, including access roads, parking areas and emergency vehicle routes. The profiled drainage layer creates effective water channels, helping to remove excess water from the system while maintaining the integrity of the construction above.

The integrated filtration fleece prevents fine particles from entering drainage pathways, helping preserve long-term performance. The product is also suitable for protecting waterproofing membranes in both horizontal and vertical applications and can be used beneath green roofs, podium decks, terraces, foundation walls, basement slabs, bridge abutments and tunnel structures.

Feefo Independent Rolawn Reviews

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
