ZinCo Extensive Green Roof SEDUM Carpet

Description

Extensive green roofs with Sedum – the proven ecological protective covering

The "Sedum carpet" system structure is a low, ground-covering extensive greening. The "sedum carpet" is mainly used where low weight and low maintenance costs are required. Proven sedum species in combination with the right green roof structure ensure a permanent and low-maintenance green roof.

The various shallow-growing Sedum species contained in the plant community "Sedum carpet" have their main flowering period in early summer, with the flower colours yellow and red/white dominating. In the rest of the season, the "sedum carpet" presents itself in the different shades of green of the sedum species, with red foliage colouring also bringing variety to the picture, especially in autumn.

A green roof with "sedum carpet" is realised either by seeding or as small bale plants.

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

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.
