Installation instruction Sempergreen green roof

[@kadinzaofelune]

I read the article on disadvantages to green roofs. I just want to leave two points. As far as homes in the States, make sure you have engineered for the additional weight and that the contractor knows how to correctly build a flat roof. P.S. They aren't actually flat. The last point is more and more insurance companies are doing drone surveys and cancelling your homeowners policy if they don't like what they see. So we as a community of green citizens need to make sure we are supporting legislation that keeps this from happening.

Oh, i just know about drainage sheets. So, it’s a necessary. Thanks for the information and tips.

Love this !! Keep vlogging.. I wanna have a garden at my roof someday

[@user-hg6vd2iz7m]

this is awesome, i am using it for a driveway that raises and lowers on an angle

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Great to hear! Wishing you the best of luck with your project!

[@lassei4659]

Remember to get a skilled professional to do the calculations if your roof is suitable and are able to withstand the weight of the combined instalation.

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Thank you for your comment! It's certainly important to ensure that your roof is suitable for the weight of your chosen green roof system before purchase.

Ups! 👍🏻 13 ist von mir! Die meisten Unfälle passieren im Haushalt aber Du warst ja draußen! Ach oben rechts war noch ein Fleck!!! Nee wollte Dich nur ein wenig ärgern lieber Darius. Ganz liebe Grüße Adi 🎸

[@nurainna3748]

hi, where can i know the specification of material used for this roof?

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Have a look at our website for different green roof systems and downloads: www.sempergreen.com/en/solutions/green-roofs/green-roof-system-structures

[@hadrian270]

does water not get trapped under the black sheet and does the moving blanket material not mildew completely after a short period? seems like a strange system

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Hi Hadrian, thanks for your question! It's not a problem if there's some water in the green roof system. It can evaporate from the substrate and plants or be discharged through the drain. The protective cover is also made of a material that is suitable for getting wet and will not be damaged by this. If you'd like to know more, we'd be happy to help! You can find our contact form and details here: www.sempergreen.com/en/contact/contact-form

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

This would be a cool project. Is there a concern to access a section of a roof leak in the future? Have you had to deal with this? Thanks

[@gieselman]

is this a concrete roof?

[@surangakarunaratne1192]

What is the first black sheet used called and what's its function

[@noahbktv]

I think it’s just plastic

[@RunningRebels]

how thick has to be the substrate layer

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Thanks for your question! This depends on the climate where you live and the green roof system that you'd like to install. For this kind of Sedum roof, we'd recommend at least 5 cm in Western Europe, for example.

How much weight would your products add a 417cm x 433cm roof please?

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Dear Susan, the weight depends on the system structure. View options and specifications here: www.sempergreen.com/en/solutions/green-roofs/green-roof-system-structures. For advice on your specific project, please email [e-mail] or call [phone]

[@mermaidm4472]

excellent work

[@justme7595]

Could this be used for walls? And would it serve as insulation against heat on inside of building?

[@sempergreengroup6970]

We offer a different kind of system for walls. Visit www.sempergreenwall.com/ for more information.

[@calebdurojaiye3734]

Whats the cost of drainage sheets

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Thanks for your question! The type of drainage layer we recommend, depends on the project & green roof system that is used. If you'd like more information, feel free to send a message to [e-mail]!

[@PY988]

why 2 drainage sheets?

[@RunningRebels]

THANK YOU!

[@scottpiccola7470]

But then you need to mow your roof?

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Thanks for your question! No, there's no need to mow a Sedum roof. If you'd like to know more about green roof maintenance, take a look here: www.sempergreen.com/en/solutions/green-roofs/maintaining

[@garethmiles9984]

What is the weight added to roof?and what do you do to reinforce if necessary?

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Hi Gareth, thank you for your question! The weight depends on the system and your local requirements, but for the system shown here the saturated weight is generally around 80 to 85 kg/m². We also have lighter systems that can even be suitable for a garden shed, for example, and heavier options that include a variety of herbs, grasses and/or wildflowers. If you're unsure about the weight that your roof is able to bear, we suggest you request a professional construction calculation.

[@andrewhammond8915]

What is the weight per sq metre

[@sempergreengroup6970]

Thanks for your question! When saturated, the green roof system for a flat roof can weigh around 80 - 85 kg/m². You can find more information here: www.sempergreen.com/en/solutions/green-roofs/types/flat-green-roof-water-retaining

[@bcsimon15]

Pretty cool!

[@vivalaleta]

Great but so much plastic involved.

[@polska905]

And when the roof starts leaking, you have a very expensive problem...

[@tomaskozler4856]

the amount of plastic used in this example is outrageously un-green

[@faribabahrami7530]

I was thinking the exact same thing, jeez not green at all

[@vaper106]

I think the second layer is recycle cotton. Same stuff that is used in mattress construction

[@nicholas6042]

Waaah

[@Mark.Watson]

This thing is going to leak and it'll all be trashed.
