Method of establishment of vegetation
We must be open to recognize the different situations for location, near to the building , influences from wind, and plant neighbor plantations . The climbing plants build a lot of stronger roots and have to be Services overlong time
Vegetation
After longtime growing vegetation we see which plants are right for separate locations at the rooftop. The trees are growing fast and envelope strongpoints but have not received any damaging the system. It’s important that a continuous service company goes on long time
Vegetation layer
The 40 - 60 cm deep vegetation layer showed us where and with which intensity the plants fight for there place and waterconnection
Retention layer
The partiell different watering are driven by my a floating system , there are created dams to hold the water where are demanding plants are located.. extra there is a overflow rainbird system
Filtration layer
We use a 200 g filter fleece
Drainage layer
The drainage was a 10-20 cm drainage out of slate chipped , depending of where the water is collected or not , and we use decided of the vegetation zones
Separate layer
As dividers we use 150 g filter fleece , on the other installations, like watering pipes, the electrical installations (waterprotected) are layer on
Protective layer
On top of the insulation of glass wool in liquid bitumen sealing with a topper of an hypolymer ( bitumenresident ) 0,8 mm root protecting sealing layer
Root layer
We uses a 40-60 cm Substrat / earth along the FLL - Richtlinien für Dachbegrünung to allow small trees and shrubs lower plants
