Green Roof Perimeter

Thus the compatibility of safety features on accessible green roofs such as railings and lighting fixtures must also be considered.

Green roof perimeter.

Some roofs are finished with substantial architectural build ups such as concrete pavers or stone. Ultra clean edge by skol manufacturing company is a revolutionary new design in perimeter edging for extensive and intensive green roof installations. Perimeter vegetation barriers offer protection regulation compliance. Find out more here.

The intention of the green roof concept is to take otherwise heat producing areas such as rooftops and plazas and provide a cooler environment. The allowable depth of the green roof is determined by the load capacity that can be allocated to it. Columbia green technologies will provide the appropriate green roof or amenity deck system for your project rather than a one size fits all approach. Ultra clean edge is sold by the lineal foot in 4 foot lengths or by custom lengths per your project spec.

Designed and tested by certified green roof professionals our high grade corrosion resistant aluminum edging is made with over 90 recycled material. Optigreen retaining edge should be installed approximately 30 from roof edges with roof drains and 18 from other edges. If there will be a gravel perimeter the retaining edge will separate the soil and gravel and does not need to be attached. A green roof that is accessible can be a desirable amenity for building occupants but it must also comply with life safety codes.

The result is a cooler roof decreasing the buildings energy consumption and reducing the heat island effect. We offer layered planted in place and pre grown tray green roof and amenity deck systems along with pavers pedestals and foam.
