Green Roof South Africa
Our green roof drainage panels accumulates and retains rainwater on the green roofs, at the same time protecting the waterproof membrane. It can be used for the creation of both extensive and intensive green roofs and helps prevent water run-off and consequent flooding. Modular and lightweight, it is easily installed on both flat and sloped roofs of up to 20%.

Our green roof drainage boards, offers the possibility to create intensive roof gardens and urban roof farms with a thicker layer of soil, required for plants’ and vegetables’ roots.

Retaining and draining the rainwater slowly releasing it after the rain, urban farms also protect the roof insulation. The soil layer improves the thermal insulation of the roof surface, so a roof farm becomes a natural tool which decreases costs of air conditioning.

Besides their contribution to nature and resilience, urban farms generate social interaction in local communities, but also some economic benefits like healthy food production. It is also proved that greenery on roofs clean the air near its surface, decreasing the toxic ozone’s concentration.

Designed as a modular tray, Our green roof panels are easily transported to the construction site and Installed quickly onto geotextile and membrane, creating a drainage layer with high retention capacity.

Green Roof Module – Designed For Multitasking

Simplicity is key to successful innovation.
We kept things simple. Instead of piling up layers upon layers of material, mechanization, and labor, our green roof trays trays are made of recycled plastic, capable of addressing both practical and big environmental issues. Here is what it can do:

Reduces energy use and cost
commercial green roofs South Africa
By adding a layer of soil and plants, our pregrown roof trays provides additional insulation to the building, saving up to 35 % of heating and cooling energy

Easy setup and maintenance
Green Roofs South Africa
A vegetated green roof tray weighs only 18 kg per module and can be installed at an average speed of up to 450m2 per day by a single worker. Maintenance is done by simply removing the trays, with no damage to the plants or roof functionality.

Supports plant growth
green roofs South Africa
Our green roof tray is made of perforated Polypropylene that is resistant to chemicals and microorganisms, which allows a healthy environment for plant growth and drainage.

Protects the waterproofing
green roofs South Africa
Creates a durable, stable green surface that covers the waterproofing membrane, protecting it from foot traffic and weather events.

Prevents runoff
green roofs South Africa
Retains and gradually releases up to 20 l/m2 of rainwater that would otherwise require management, mitigating floods caused by heavy rainfall.

Decreases urban heat island
Factory Green Roof South Africa
Green roofs reduce pollution and lower local outdoor temperatures in summer, having a cumulative effect on decreasing urban heat islands.

Does the weight of a green roof require additional support
Bus Stop Green Roof and Living Wall South Africa
Green roofs weigh more than traditional roofing materials and if you are considering installing one, it is best to consult with a structural engineer. While new construction can easily be designed to incorporate the weight loads of a green roof, retrofitting existing buildings requires careful consideration.

Green Roof Edging

Green Roofs South Africa
We manufacture a wide range of edging to retain green roof systems and properly trim and detail roof penetrations. Our green roof edging is extensively field-tested and has proven effective in promoting proper drainage for your extensive or intensive green roof system. Our edging are bent at a 90-degree angle (custom angles are possible for sloped applications) with slots on the vertical section to provide lateral drainage. The slots come all the way to the bottom of the angle to facilitate any level of moisture and promote drainage during a storm event. The “L” shape ensures that there are no sharp corners on the roof membrane. Our high-strength materials are lightweight, long-lasting, and easy to assemble. We provide edging in both straight and flexible contour cuts to suit your design needs.

Our standard edging comes in lengths of 3 meters and is 3mm thick aluminum. We also offer custom edging in various alloys, thicknesses, and colors. We can provide different gauges of aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and other steel. We offer a full line of powder coating or hard anodizing on all edging products. The slots are designed for a calculated flow rate of approximatly 100 lites per minute given a 25mm storm event.

Standard sizes for our edging are 80mm tall up to 210mm tall in 10mm increments.

Custom Edging

Custom edging is available in laser cut stainless steel, copper, anodized aluminum, PVC coated and powder coated in a wide range of colours.

Green Roofs can help you with all of your custom edging needs. We manufacture custom products for architects and installers across the country and pride ourselves on our ability to work with clients to enable them to get the most out of their project. From simple edging with no slots to laser-cut custom designs and custom angles for pitched roofs, we can do it all.
