ZinCo Extensive Green Roof SLOPING ROOF GREENING UP TO 35°

ZinCo GmbH

Description

Pitched roofs up to 35° – shear-proof green with Georaster®

With

the ZinCo Georaster® elements, green roofs can also be realised on roof surfaces with an inclination of over 25°. The geogrid® elements reliably dissipate the shear forces into a stable eaves upstand or into additional shear thresholds .

The grid elements are simply inserted into each other without tools. This immediately creates a stable, flat bond. A roof surface covered with geogrid® elements can be safely walked on and filled with system soil. Thanks to the low intrinsic volume of the elements, a relatively large space that can be rooted through remains. Pitched roof greens require regular maintenance. Depending on the building location, roof pitch, and exposure, additional irrigation may be required. The vegetation will develop differently depending on the exposure, especially with stronger roof pitches there will be interesting differences between the north and south sides.

Extensive green roof – the easy-care green variant to the gravel covering

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
    • Low
  • 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.
