Intensive green roofs can be considered roof gardens. It is generally not recommended for hot climates. Even a flat roof should have some pitch so that it sheds water toward gutters. Extensive green roof substrates are for use on shallow green roof systems 200mm depth and are often associated with sedum mat sedum plug plant or wildflower planting.

Each vegetation green roof modules contains a complete hierarchy of green roof systems including drainage rain retention filtration growth media and plants. While installation of a green roof is initially more expensive than a conventional roof a green roof has a much longer life span than a conventional roof. Its soil depth is a full 2 inches enough to support many low growing succulents and a limited number of accent plants. Before the plants go up a structural engineer should check to ensure that the roof can support the weight of the engineered growing medium and plants.

Green roof trays is simple in design easy to install and uses our standard green roof planting method for roof maintenance and repair. Gaf is partnering with liveroof to combine the proven performance of everguard tpo and pvc membranes with the liveroof patented proven hybrid green roof system. The existing roof must be reinforced to carry the additional weight load anywhere from 15 30 lbs sq. Or more depending on the depth of the soil.
