Green Roof Blocks: Residential & Commercial


GREEN ROOF BLOCKS are a self contained portable roof greening product that functions like roof pavers to ballast single ply roofing systems or rest on top of your existing roofing. Some roof greening strategies can include massive amounts of soil, adding weight and expense to the process.

Green Roof Drain is fabricated of stainless steel and uses the same integral filter fabric configuration as the Green Roof Edge to ensure the retention of fine particulate growth media.

 

Green Roof Edge is a flow through roof edge that affords designers the option to utilize structural slope that drains the roof to a gutter edge. Available in in a variety of colors and perforation patterns for gutter edges and solid designs for non-draining edges.

Eco-Roofs: Residential & Commercial

Eco-Roofs modules will be grown for whatever length of time is feasible given the requirements of the job. We recommend, however, that they be grown for approximately 12-15 weeks of summer growing time to achieve the coverage shown in these pictures and for optimal performance when installed on the roof.

The module contains 40 round drainage holes in the bottom. Each drainage hole is 3/8” in diameter. They are strategically placed to maintain ideal drainage efficiency. In addition to the drainage holes, Eco-Roofs trays are designed with drainage channels that allow excess water to flow freely in either direction towards the roof drains.

 

Eco-Roofs Modules are easy to put together. Installation requires minimal training. You simply place each tray up tight, next to the previous ones. The soils and plants will slide together creating a solid mass.

 


 

KISSS America, Inc.: Residential & Commercial


The KISSS Below Flow Flat subsurface irrigation system works by pulsing water through the lateral lines for several minutes a few times a day at a very low pressure between 6 and 32 psi. The water running through the lines disperses out the pressure compensating emitters, hits the dispersion tape and then is absorbed by the patented capillary fiber.

KISSS Below Flow Wrap subsurface irrigation can be used in a multitude of applications. It is specially designed to be used with applications that have a slope of more than 8%. It is highly effective in reducing wear in high traffic areas due to the deep root systems.

 

It is also highly effective in irregular shaped and undulated color beds, high wind areas, medians and other grass areas close to pavement, long tree rows and wind breaks, esplanades, botanical gardens, and tennis courts. It is also useful for foundation protection from cracking and heaving. The KISSS subsurface capillary irrigation system is also currently the only viable option for greenroof applications.

Also, they are very versatile and designed to go on top of a prepared base or other modular systems.

 

Sedum Master's panels are an installer's dream! They are interlocking trays and sold as mature, instantly green products. Also, they are lined with a biocloth and pre-engineered growing medium.

 


 
Sika Sarnafil: Commercial only

Sika Sarnafil develops and manufactures goods for the commercial building marketplace and markets them to building owners, architects, consultants, contractors and specifiers.
 

 
Sika Sarnafil’s ‘Extensive’ Green Roof Systems are relatively lightweight and may be installed over any properly designed deck, including concrete, wood and steel. These systems feature only a few inches of soil and typically support smaller plantings tolerant of high heat, drought, wind, and frost. Extensive-style roofs are often used in areas that will not be subject to regular traffic.

 

Sika Sarnafil’s ‘Intensive” Green Roof Systems are generally heavier in weight and are installed on decks designed to accommodate heavy loads. Because the soil is fairly deep, Intensive systems may host trees, shrubs, bushes, and vegetable gardens. Some Intensive roof systems are even used for recreational purposes.

 

Sika Sarnafil’s G476 waterproofing membranes are fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic sheets specially formulated to remain watertight in below-grade and green roof applications. The membrane withstands constant dampness, high alkalinity, exposure to plant roots, fungi, and bacterial organisms, as well as varying levels of hydrostatic pressure. Membranes are orange/grey for easy inspection and are available in 60, 80, and 96 mil thicknesses.

 

 
Sika Sarnafil has several options for Pre-Fabricated Drainage Composites to promote drainage within green roof assemblies. Each composite incorporates specially designed ‘core structures’ to evacuate water and ‘filter fabric’ to prevent soil from entering the drainage structure.

Sika Sarnafil offers Sarnatherm rigid insulation boards to meet thermal insulation requirements. Sarnatherm XPS is a rigid extruded polystyrene insulation board installed under or over a Sika Sarnafil waterproofing membrane, depending on the green roof waterproofing system design. Sarnatherm insulation is made of polyisocyanurate insulation and may be used under the waterproofing membrane in conjunction with a coverboard. The insulation boards are available in various sizes, depending upon the thermal resistance requirements and application, and are also available in tapered configurations to enhance drainage.

 

Sarnafil Services has established relationships with a group of leading experts skilled in the design and construction of green roofs and provides customers with a Single Source Green Roof Delivery and Warranty Program. Sika Sarnafil’s G476 waterproofing membrane is the central element in the program. Experts skilled in engineering, soil sciences, hydrology, horticulture, and other disciplines work together on a project basis, with Sarnafil Services acting as the ‘program manager’ — from preliminary planning to completion.
