ZinCo Intensive Green Roof LAVENDELHEIDE

ZinCo GmbH

Description

Green roofs with "lavender heather" – the ideal structure for flowering perennials and fragrant herbs

In addition to ground-covering perennials, the "lavender heather" plant community has accent-forming, partly fragrant perennials as well as semi-shrubs such as thyme, dost and lavender. This combination creates a visually very appealing drought-tolerant roof planting. Additional irrigation should be possible on the green roof in the event of prolonged drought.

The "lavender heather" system soil, which is specially adapted to this plant community, together with the Floradrain® FD 40 water storage and drainage elements , creates the necessary site conditions. The maintenance effort is significantly reduced compared to the "roof garden" system structure with perennials customary in the garden and higher substrate layers.

Intensive green roofs – well-kept gardens on used flat roofs

An intensive green roof can be compared to building a garden on a roof. These roofs are usually multifunctional and accessible. Intensive greening requires more weight and a higher system structure. Maintenance must be carried out regularly and depends on the design and the plants chosen. Depending on the thickness of the layer, almost all plants are possible, such as lawns, perennials, shrubs and trees, including other landscaping measures (e.g. ponds, pergolas and terraces).

These diverse forms of use can be implemented permanently and reliably with the ZinCo system structures. In addition, a large number of detailed solutions offer safety in the execution of connections and terminations, transitions and drainage points.

Features

  • Lawns, perennials, shrubs and trees
  • High maintenance Regular
  • watering
  • Structure thickness 15–200 cm
  • Weight 200–3,000 kg/m²

Intensive green roofs offer the entire spectrum of landscape architectural designs. Lawns, perennials, fruit and vegetables, woody plants and trees grow at layer heights of 15–100 cm, often combined with pavements, terraces, play areas or water features. Even driving surfaces, such as on underground car park ceilings, are possible with appropriate statics. Depending on the version, a weight of 150–1300 kg/m² must be taken into account and irrigation and maintenance requirements must be taken into account.
