Green roof perimeter.

Optigreen retaining edge should be installed approximately 30 from roof edges with roof drains and 18 from other edges. 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. A green roof that is accessible can be a desirable amenity for building occupants but it must also comply with life safety codes.

If there will be a gravel perimeter the retaining edge will separate the soil and gravel and does not need to be attached. Finish your green roof off with practical stylish edging. Ultra clean edge by skol manufacturing company is a revolutionary new design in perimeter edging for extensive and intensive green roof installations. Find out more here.

Thus the compatibility of safety features on accessible green roofs such as railings and lighting fixtures must also be considered. Removing unnecessary finishes may provide sufficient capacity for a green roof of equal weight. Ultra clean edge is sold by the lineal foot in 4 foot lengths or by custom lengths per your project spec. Some roofs are finished with substantial architectural build ups such as concrete pavers or stone.

The result is a cooler roof decreasing the buildings energy consumption and reducing the heat island effect. The green roof concept has seen wide spread acceptance within the construction community.
