Description

Green garage roof – small roof with a big effect

A green roof on your garage not only looks beautiful, but also brings you as the owner very clear financial advantages. It extends the service life of the roof waterproofing many times over because it protects it from climate and weather influences. In addition, a green roof retains 70-90% of rainwater, which many cities and municipalities reward with reduced wastewater fees!

In addition, even the smallest green space contributes to improving the climate, because the plants filter dust particles and pollutants from the air. In summer, green areas provide cooling, which ensures a better quality of life, especially in densely populated areas. New habitats are created on the roof for numerous plants, bees and other insects.

Reasons enough to become a "roof gardener" yourself and transform your garage roof or carport into a blooming oasis. With the garage package, ZinCo offers ambitious do-it-yourselfers the opportunity to easily green their garage roof themselves.

In addition to all the necessary system components for a functioning green roof structure and installation instructions, the ZinCo garage package contains plant seeds from the "Bienenweide" plant community. In this plant mixture, which is specially tailored to the needs of the bees, special attention was paid to a long-lasting nectar and pollen supply. The plants offer an ever-blooming "approach area" from April to September. Of course, you can make your roof even more species-rich or biodiversity aspects , e.g. by adding plants from the perennial gardener, placing deadwood on the roof and setting up nesting aids.

Extensive green roofs – the easy-care green variant to gravel pavement

Extensive green roofs are an ecological alternative to conventional surface protection, such as gravel. They are lightweight and have a low installation height. For extensive green roofs, we use proven plant communities that naturally cope with the site conditions found on roofs, such as sun, wind, drought, etc. An extensive green roof requires little maintenance. One or two maintenance cycles per year are usually sufficient here. This type of green roof is also suitable for sloping roofs.

Features

Moss-Sedum to grass-herb greening
maintenance No
additional irrigation required Construction
thickness 10–20 cm
Weight 60–250 kg/m²

Extensive greening is carried out and operated at a relatively low cost. For example, the layer height is approx. 5–15 cm and the low weight is 60–150 kg/m², which also enables subsequent greening of existing roof surfaces without any problems. Another advantage is the manageable maintenance effort, because the plant communities of sedum, grasses and herbs used get by with natural precipitation. In addition to flat roofs, extensive greening is also suitable for pitched roofs.
