The unique LiveRoof®
Lite modular system from SIG Design & Technology is a fast and effective method of creating an
extensive green roof without the need for specialist knowledge or tools.
LiveRoof®
Lite provides an instant green roof on the day that it is installed.
Hardy, drought-tolerant
Sedum plants are cultivated by Blackdown Green Roofs in the UK in a volcanic
growing medium that supplies the plants with all requisite nutrients for
excellent long-term plant health. The LiveRoof®
Lite hybrid tray, manufactured from recycled polypropylene, and unique Soil
Elevators allow the soil and plant cover to be raised above the finished level
of the modular tray – concealing the tray edges from view and ensuring that the
plant cover forms. Unlike traditional modular systems, the LiveRoof Lite tray
allows the natural sharing of water, nutrients and beneficial organisms –
across the entire rooftop!
Applications
LiveRoof Lite is
perfect for:
·New-build and
refurbishment roofing applications
·Retrofitting of green
infrastructure into urban areas
·Commercial or domestic
roofing
·Flat roofs
·Low pitched roofs (with
suitable retention or shearing measures)
·Installation over most
roof waterproofing systems
Installation
LiveRoof®
Lite is simple to install by following four easy steps:
Step one
The roof surface is
prepared by sweeping and cleaning before laying any necessary separation layer.
The inter-locating LiveRoof® Lite modules are laid onto the prepared
roof surface, placed them neatly together to form a grid. The interlocking
trays are specially designed with lips on two sides. Whilst installation is
intuitive, information stickers provide guidance through the installation
process.
Note: Before starting
installation, it's important to ensure that the roof is suitable and will bear
the weight of the LiveRoof® Lite system and that terms and conditions
of any current warranty covering the roof's waterproofing are checked.
Step two
Once the tray is
surrounded by adjacent LiveRoof Lite modules, the Soil Elevators are removed to
reveal a beautiful, seamless instantly mature green roof
Step three
The perimeter is
backfilled with a suitable decorative river washed ballast to complete the
installation, giving the roof a finished and polished look.
Step four
Finally, the modules
are watered thoroughly to settle any loose growing medium and the installation
is complete.
