Green Roof™ Installation Guide
A green roof installation using the Green Roof foundation system can be completed in 2 - 3 days. Enjoy your new green roof for years, taking advantage of the superior insulation value and asthetic beauty of a green roof. For buildings with flat roofs enjoy your new roof top garden or park, a personal escape from the urban environment.
1. SUBSTRATEGreen Roof should be laid on a root proof substrate, such as a bituminous sheet or protective membrane. Green Roof therefore only requires a 2-layer system structure. |
2. PLACE THE PANELSThe outer edges of Green Roof are compatible with one another. This makes laying of the panels extremely quick and cost-effective. |
3. FILL THE CELLSThe Green Roof elements can be filled with a blower device or by driving onto them with a bobcat and filling from above. Growing medium using a combination of native soil and additives is recommended. Materials such as slate, crushed clay, humus, aggregate and fine chippings, pumice, lava, broken tiles and foamed glass may be used. |
4. SEEDINGDepending on the need and type of planting, shoots, seedlings or seeds can be used. The laying of rolls of turf or sedum mats is also a good alternative. |
5. IRRIGATIONDepending on the type of planting, an irrigation system may be sensible. Shoots should be sufficiently watered in the first few weeks. |
6. PLANT CAREFrom time to time, although at least once a year, the planted surface should be checked for weeds and these should be removed, if necessary. |
