The Optigrün system solutions

Optigrün system solutions have been developed by specialists over many years to enhance the potential for plant growth on green roofs.

Section structure
The specification of these layers varies depending on the planting layer or paving.

Section structure

1. SUBSTRATE FOR THE GREEN ROOF

Special lightweight nutrient soil mixture

2. FILTER FLEECE

Filters fine particles of the substrate from entering the drainage system

3. DRAINAGE AND STORAGE BOARD

Stores and drains excess water

4. PROTECTION AND STORAGE FLEECE

Protects the waterproofing and retains moisture

5. EXISTING ROOF STRUCTURE WITH WATERPROOFING

Input data from the building architect

Extensive green roof

The simplest and lightest type of green roof with plants that require minimal maintenance (e.g., sedums) and a minimal amount of special substrate.

An extensive green roof is mainly designed for roofs with limited human access (e.g., garage roofs, private homes, or business rooftops).

Intensive green roof

This is a green roof with a thick substrate layer and an automatic irrigation system, which can support the viability of various types of plants – perennials, shrubs, trees, and grass.

An intensive green roof is mainly designed for the roofs of high-rise buildings, business centers, as well as for underground parking garage roofs, at ground level (stylobate).
