GreenGrid® systems
provide many features that no other green roof
system offers:
Modules – Patented
GreenGrid® modules
are composed of 60% post-industrial, recycled,
high molecular weight polyethylene. The modules
come in a variety of sizes and are available
in three depths. The Ultra Extensive (2.5-inch
depth) modules – supporting
only sedum species – weigh only 11-13
pounds per square foot (wet). The Extensive
(4-inch depth) modules – supporting shallow
rooting grass, sedum, and wildflower species – weigh
approximately 18-22 pounds per square foot
(wet). The Intensive (8-inch depth) modules – supporting
a large variety of ornamental perennials and
shrubs – weigh approximately 35+ pounds
per square foot (wet).
Growing Media – GreenGrid® is
a proprietary mixture of organic and inorganic
material, formulated on the basis of years
of research and field testing by soil scientists
and horticulture experts.
Preplanted Vegetation – GreenGrid® modules
arrive at the jobsite preplanted and ready
for installation on the roof. Plants can be
selected by GreenGrid® or
specified by others.
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 – Wood,
recycled composite wood, metal, or other specialty
materials (in various colors and designs) can
be included as part of the GreenGrid® system
design.
Optional Features – Pavers
made from 100% post-industrial recycled rubber,
walkways, water ponds, outdoor furniture, and
planter boxes can be incorporated into the
GreenGrid® system.
