Green Roof Filter Layer

It is made of a filtration veil and the polyamide monofilament fibre network layer.

Green roof filter layer.

Filter sheet a layer of filter sheet will prevent substrate dropping into the drainage layer. Beneath the growing media and above the drainage system the filter fabric keeps the media from clogging up the drainage while allowing water to flow freely. A green roof system consists of four layers. An important consideration with filter fabric is the flow rate while preventing media runoff.

Of the drainage layer remains intact for longer. Protection drainage and filtration. A drainage layer a filter layer a growing medium layer substrate and a vegetation layer. Bauder sdf drainage layer.

A filter fleece separates the drainage layer from the roof garden substrate in a green roof structure. The grs ff35 has a high flow rate of 150 gallons per minute per square foot. The 6 slotted triangle shape is used beneath the aggredrain layer and allows for water to flow freely. Filter layer this layer is a polypropylene geotextile fleece that prevents substrate fines and sediment from being washed in to the water storage or drainage component.

Enough filter sheet is set down over the roof so that at the vertical edges of the planting beds the sheet will be the same height as the substrate. The green roof solutions drainage conduit is a stainless steel channel for use with the aggredrain system. Aggredrain is most commonly used at a 1 minimum depth over a moisture retention mat grs mrm 14 or grs mrm 30. Drainage protection filtration layer it is used for lightweight green roofs terraces and has many functions.

A filter fabric layer on top should separate the aggredrain from the growing media. Considerations in the selection and use of filter sheets include. Green roof solutions has a 3 5 oz filter fabric ff35. The drainage layer is highly useful for those roofs in which the maximum angle is not more than 10 degrees.

The basic anatomy of a green roof consists of vegetation growing medium filter membrane drainage layer waterproof root repellant layer roofing membrane support for plantings above thermal insulation vapor control layer and structural roof support. Filter cloth the filter cloth layer a useful extension to the green roof drainage layer can be easily managed on its own as it works primarily to help remove clogs and excess organic material from the drain. Successfully managing this composite structure is the key to creating a green roof system that performs well over the long term. Waterproof membrane drainage layer filter layer substrate as well as the planted portion.

For a biodiverse green roof the various vegetation options above can be combined to help create different habitats.
