SLOPING
MEADOW - ZINCO FLORASET FS 75
The
"Sloping Meadow" green roof system is an extensive
type of landscaping for roof slopes up to 20° with drought
resistant plant material. The sloped green roof systems differ
significantly from system buildups for low-pitched roofs. Shear
forces, increase with the roof slope and must be transferred
into the roof construction. In addition, the growing medium
must be protected against wind-, and water erosion.
The deep profile of ZinCo Floraset ® FS75 elements ensure
sufficient interlocking with the growing medium and transfer
the shear forces to roof construction.
Plants
must be selected to withstand the extreme growing conditions
that are characteristic of pitched green roofs. Because of the
slope the rain water will be carried off quickly. For that reason
additional irrigation is necessary. The irrigation can be either
by drip line or with a sprinkler system.
The
waterproofing must be root protected.
