New Green Roof Greening - Modular Planting Roof

2021-04-29

In recent years, because the planting roof has good heat preservation, heat insulation and energy saving effects on the building, coupled with its ability to purify the urban air and reduce the heat island effect, it has attracted more and more attention in the roofing industry. However, the traditional planting roof has the problem of difficult installation, heavy load, and inconvenient maintenance, actual operation is not so easy, especially for the the old buildings.




Modular Planting Roof

Solve the main problems of traditional planting roof



Modular planting roof is a kind of green roof method that takes planting tray as the core and integrates aquifer, drainage, isolation, growth layer and planting layer. By optimizing the design of the module unit, it effectively solves the problems caused by the inflexible transportation arrangement and waterproofing of the traditional green roof.


Compared with traditional planting roofs, it has the following advantages:



Easy to Install

The modular plant tray eliminates the need for drainage pads, water retention pads, root barriers and filter cloths. The installation can be completed by connecting the trays together. The speed is doubled, and 400 square meters can be completed in one day.



Flexible to Transport

Because of the protection of the tray, it can effectively prevent the damage of the plants and the overflow of the substrate during the transportation. The pallets can also be stacked together during transportation, which greatly improves efficiency.



Better Protect the Roof

The planting tray has perfect functions such as water storage, drainage, root blocking, etc., which can effectively prevent the substrate, excess water, and plant roots from directly contacting the waterproof layer, thereby protecting the original roof structure.



Simple Maintenance

If there is a problem with the roof that needs to be checked, just lift one module easily without damaging the entire roof. Any planting tray can be replaced at any time.




Favored by Green Building Projects

Many domestic and foreign projects are already in use



Normally in 3 to 6 months after the installation of the modular planting roof, the plants grow and will gradually cover the edges of the box. It looks no different from traditional planting roofs, so more and more green building projects are adopted.

In the era when green buildings are vigorously promoted, planted roofs are an important part of urban diversified greening. The emergence of modular planting roofs is a manifestation of the continuous mature development of planting roofing technology, which helps reduce construction costs and promote the realization of domestic green cities.
