For Green Roofs with slopes from 20° up to 35°, ZinCo Georaster® elements provide for a safe installation. These elements are made of recycled polyethylene (HD-PE) and interlock without requiring tools, creating a stable structure. This structure is safely accessible and can be infilled with system substrate. It allows for plenty of space for the plant root systems to establish and
develop. Due to the faster water-run off and varying exposure to the sun, suitable plants have to be selected.
To avoid gaps in the vegetation coverage which might lead to erosion, an irrigation should be planned for, even if it is only needed in times of drought. A transfer of existing shear forces into stable eaves and into additional shear barriers is absolutely necessary on steep pitched roofs. For this, ZinCo offers a variety of accessories used in combination with the Georaster® elements.
