APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation should be carried out in conjunction with
the Sika® Green Roof Installation Guide.

APPLICATION

  • All living materials must be unloaded immediately and installed within the 24-hour period after delivery to the site. Failure to do so will risk the vegetation deteriorating and create a poor roof finish
  • If it is a large roof, it would be recommended that the supporting build-up of the drainage layers, filter fleece and substrate is completed before the live material is delivered to the site, minimising vegetation stand time.
  • The optimum period to install a living system is Spring/Autumn. Extra care must be taken during the summer period to ensure that the blanket system does not overheat during transportation or standing period. Extra irrigation may be required during the summer months, these are discussed below.
  • The installed green roof systems must be thoroughly watered in, initially at a rate of 10-15 litres/m². Irrigation should take the form of complete system saturation at least once a week in the first 12 weeks following installation. These same steps should be taken during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather.

Should temporary irrigation be in place, we recommend the following:

  • Regularly check that the sprinklers are correctly positioned, prevailing wind may affect coverage. 
  • Regularly check that the tank water is suitable for the roof irrigation.
  • If the water becomes contaminated, turn off the irrigation immediately and drain the system.
  • With the onset of winter, the system will need to be drained and decommissioned.
