Wavin has developed a new technology for its Wavin OsmaDrain drainage system to provide added protection from trees and root ingress. Called RootSeal Technology, it uses a natural mineral additive to harmlessly repel tree roots reducing potential damage, upheaval and considerable costs - both financial and environmental. This solves a number of challenges for architects, specifiers, developers and planners.

Mike Ward, Territory Director - UK & Ireland: "Here at Wavin, we are determined that our corporate commitment to building healthy, sustainable environments actually feeds into tangible product innovation and change. RootSeal Technology perfectly illustrates that, bringing real performance and sustainability benefits."
