070. Product Description

DIADEM-350 is a semi-intensive type of green roof, typically with 12" buildup over the membrane and 72 lbs/sqf saturated weight. It comes with a wide range of perennials and groundcovers, decreasing the maintenance cost compared to roof lawns. Irrigation is common, and regular maintenance is required. It is ideal for inverted roof construction as its insulation layer provides the additional roof membrane protection .

080. Application

Within the existing space of the building, this type of installation creates a pleasant added green area that can be readily used by those working or living at the location.

090. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Inverted roof or warm roof construction?
In this type of roof garden design, the waterproofing membrane benefits from the additional protection of the inverted roof's insulation.
  • Why use a semi-intensive roof system?
Semi-intensive is a good compromise in cases where the roof structure cannot support the weight of a more elaborate, fully landscaped roof garden design.
  • What about maintenance?
This should be considered at the early planning stages and should include suitable access and the establishment of a maintenance program for irrigation, fertilization, mowing, trimming and other tasks.
  • What is better, groundcover or a lawn?
Lawn has more resistance to foot traffic, but it needs more intrusive maintenance, such as mowing and fertilizing. Groundcovers need significantly less maintenance, provide foliage interest and may better fit the microclimate of the roof and conditions such as sun exposure, wind effect, etc.
  • What about lawn maintenance?
Just as with a ground level lawn, a roof lawn should be cut, watered and fertilized regularly. In addition there are certain safety precautions, as well as noise concerns and access logistics.
