NATURE ROOF
SOLUTION 1 (USING DRAINAGE BOARD): 0-5°

CHARACTERISTICS
- Multi-layered system using Optigreen Drainage Board.
- High level of biodiversity.
- High ecological value.
- A habitat for butterflies, bees and other insects.
- Long flowering window annually.
- Use of recycled plastic materials.
- Generally suitable for inverted roofs, if applicable. Minimum load for wind up-lift protection should be calculated.
Weight * | 100-300 kg/m² or 1.0-3.0 KN/m² |
Build-up depth | 100-250 mm |
Roof pitch | 0-5° (0-9 %) |
Vegetation form | herbs, wildflowers, grasses, sedum |
Water retention | 60 - 70 % |
Discharge coefficient ** | C=0.56 - 0.27 |
Water storage | approx. 30 - 80 l/m² |

* | Depending on the load capacity of the substructure, Optigreen "High Density (HD)" or "Low Density (LD)" substrates can be used. Weight specifications refer to saturated conditions; dry weight is approximately 60 - 70 % of the saturated weight. |
** | Depends on slope and system solution. Determined at 0° according to FLL guidelines. |
*** | Determined according to FLL discharge coefficient measurements using a 15-minute reference rainfall r(15) = 300 l/s x ha. |
