GreenGrid® systems
provide many features that no other green roof
system offers:
Modules – Patented
GreenGrid® modules
are composed of 100% pre-consumer, recycled,
high molecular weight polyethylene.
The Ultra-Extensive (2.5-inch depth) modules—supporting only sedum species—weigh approximately 11-13 pounds per square foot (wet).
The Standard Extensive (4-inch depth) modules—supporting mainly sedums, and some other native and perennial plant species—weigh approximately 18-22 pounds per square foot (wet).
The new GreenGrid G3 Extensive (4-inch depth) modules—also supporting mainly sedums, and some other native and perennial plant species—weigh approximately 21-25 pounds per square foot (wet).
The Intensive (8-inch depth) modules—supporting a large variety of ornamental perennials and grasses—weigh approximately 36-44 pounds per square foot (wet) and up depending on growth media composition and plant selection.
Growing Media –GreenGrid® Growth Media is an engineered light weight blend consisting of inorganic and organic components. Formulations are based on the German FLL “Guidelines for Planning, Execution and Upkeep of Green-Roof Sites”
Preplanted or Pregrown Vegitation –The GreenGrid® arrives at the job site already planted and ready for installation. This fact makes GreenGrid® installation much quicker than most of the traditional. GreenGrid® plants are installed at the nursery prior to delivery. Modules can also be grown out at the nursery over a period of months prior to installation.
Drip Irrigation Systems – The
optional drip irrigation system (typically
selected for Intensive systems) is designed
for even watering of the plants. For many
geographic areas/climates plants can be selected
to withstand drought conditions.
Ecoballast® – Filled with aggregate,
Ecoballast® provides a modular roof ballast
with pre-determined water retention capability.
Edge Treatments – painted alluminum or steel edge treatments made from recycled materials (in various colors and designs) can
be included as part of the GreenGrid® system
design.
Optional Features – Pavers
made from recycled rubber,
walkways, water ponds, outdoor furniture, and
planter boxes can be incorporated into the
GreenGrid® system.
