BauderGREEN WSP 75 / 50 reservoir board.

Guidance for specification option:

Water storage and multi-directional drainage layer. Used on roofs 0–25° finished falls (the only suitable Drainage and Protection layers for slopes 6° upwards). Boards laid over the entire area to provide continuous drainage and increased water capacity for the vegetation.

Loose laid (open cups up) on to the Protection Layer (or WFRL on inverted roofs) over completed waterproofing ensuring that the rebated boards are properly interlocked to provide adequate anchorage prior to the soil being laid. The board cups can be filled with water to provide temporary loading against wind uplift prior to installing the remaining landscaping elements in accordance with the specification. In the event of any confusion concerning this item, Bauder Ltd should be contacted so that advice may be given.

Cut to fit closely around penetrations and outlets.

Roof slopes 6° upwards, a parapet wall or restraint kerb must be provided to support the water storage/ drainage board at the base of the slope. This should be included within the deck construction and reference made within the waterproofing specification also. This in turn will restrain and stabilize the landscaping against imposed shear load forces.

• Size: 0.795 x 1.298 m (rebates).
• Depth: 50 mm/ 75 mm.
• Coverage: 1 m².
• Water storage (when unfilled): 10 L/ 22.1 L.
• Compressive strength: 25 kN/m²/ 35 kN/m².
• Weight (substrate filled and saturated): 10.65 kg/m²/ 22.1 kg/m².
• Material: Expanded polystyrene.

BauderGREEN FV 125 filter fleece.

Guidance for specification option:

Fine mesh PP geotextile used in conjunction with Bauder substrates. Bauder Filter Fleece is designed to separate and contain Bauder substrates from the drainage element of the green roof system (for slopes 0–5°). It prevents fine material from being washed out of the substrate layer. Fleece joints should be overlapped 150 mm. Fleece should not be taken over the top of drainage outlets.

A filter layer is not used over reservoir board on slopes 6° or above, where the reservoir board is directly filled with substrate growing medium. However, a separate strip of Bauder Filter Fleece must still be used to separate the growing medium from the vegetation barrier at perimeter abutments and around pipe protrusions, outlet inspection chambers etc. dressed up all upstands and around all protrusions to at least flush with the finished surface level. At abutments the Filter Fleece must be used to separate the vegetation/ drainage barrier and substrate growing medium by extending it 500 mm beneath the reservoir board and then bringing it up between these two items.

Upstands (soft landscaping): Extend up, between vegetation barrier and growing medium and trim flush with finished surface level.

Upstands (Hard landscaping): Extend to top of perimeter abutments and trim flush just below finished surface level.

• Weight (saturated): 0.125 kg/m².
• Pore size: 0.13 mm.
• Thickness: 1 mm.
• Roll size: 1 x 100 m/ 2 x 100 m.
• Coverage: 100 m²/ 200 m².
• Water storage: None.
• Material: Polypropylene fleece.

BauderGREEN SUB-BM UK biodiverse substrate.

Guidance for specification option:

Recycled crushed brick, expanded clay, shale, composted pine bark. Minimum depth 80 mm, preferred depth 100 mm.

Lightweight, free draining substrates designed as a growing medium for a range of different plant species. This FLL/ GRO compliant substrate provides a free draining, growing medium for biodiverse green roof systems. Additionally, it provides aeration qualities with some inherent water retention.

• Material: Recycled crushed brick, expanded clay, shale, composted pine bark.
• Maximum Weight (saturated): ≤1200 kg/m³.
• Typical supply weight: c. 950 kg/m³.
• Water storage (by volume): 35%.
• pH value: 6–8.5.
• Bulk bag size: 1.25m3Small bag size: 25 L.

For roofs pitched 6° upwards, apply the substrate growing medium directly into the open cup of the reservoir board and then build up to the depth specified. Substrates are raked out to give an even coverage of the required depth after settlement.

Handle in the driest condition possible. Do not handle or install when wet or frozen.

Start by applying two equal layers, building up to the required maximum depth.

Gently firm each layer before spreading the next. Allowance should be made for any settlement that may occur. It is recommended that ‘measuring stick’ markers of the required depth be used around the roof area to ensure that a minimum acceptable thickness of growing medium is achieved.

Depending on size and access of the project the ‘substrate’ can be supplied by various methods i.e. tipper, silo lorry (pumping directly onto the roof area), Big bags, or sacks. Prior to costing this element of the installation, the ‘Bauder Approved Contractor’ must contact Bauder Ltd so that they may advise on the best solution on any specific contract.

Trellis Substrate restraint (including for all slopes above 16º): Provision must be made by the installing contractor for supplying and fabricating 25 x 50 mm untreated timber formed into a trellis frame that is supported at the base of the slope (resting against the protection layer). The trellis is to form a series of retaining grids 400 mm square and used on all slopes between 16–25º. This trellis will provide initial retention until plant establishment and help prevent soil erosion. It will eventually rot away naturally.

Important note regarding alternative substrates:

Alternative substrates are not recommended for Bauder supplied planting.

Not required.

BauderGREEN AL 150 edge trim.

Guidance for specification option:

Perforated edge/ drainage trim used to frame and contain the green roof build-up. AL150 is specifically for use within substrate based green roofs. AL150 must always be used in conjunction with the pebble vegetation barrier (below 10° only)/ or hard edge (such as a paver).

Normally installed directly onto waterproofing, the drainage trims can be welded down using lengths of the waterproofing membrane. The trim is used to frame the green roof build up and should be completed and inspected prior to living material being delivered to site. See Bauder Green Roof Installation Guide for full details.

• Material: Aluminium.
• Thickness: 1.5 mm.
• Trim height/ width: 150 mm.
• Trim length: 2000 mm.
• Supply form: 2 m lengths, Joint Sections and Corner Sections are also available.

Precautionary note:

When cutting metal, please ensure that appropriate tools and personal protection equipment are used.

Retention Angle (supplied by others).

Guidance for specification option:

Used behind a waterproofed castellated retention batten and perimeters/ top of the slope (when Bauder Trims are not sufficient in height).

Purpose designed aluminium or stainless-steel perimeter retention angles, used to contain landscaping or pebble ballast when interfacing soft or hard landscaping. These retention angles are to be supplied and fabricated by others to the landscape architect’s requirements and incorporating drainage perforations where required.

Cutting: Neat, accurate and without spalling.

Junctions: Cut with a hacksaw to form 90º corners – mitre cut fixing arm.

Position: True to line and level. Smooth continuous lines.

Fabrication: Obtained from a specialist metal fabricating company. The metal should be regularly perforated on the vertical face to allow drainage, with drainage holes being 3–5 mm maximum diameter. The top leading edge should be folded fully or at a right angle by a minimum of 20 mm to eliminate the sharp edge.

Horizontal leg: For the base of the slope, in conjunction with the castellated retention battens – To be 200 mm wide. Only the vertical section needs to be perforated.

For open perimeters/top of the slope – To be 200 mm wide with 60 mm diameter holes positioned and cut centrally along the fixing arm at a rate of 6/ linear metre.

Height: To be as landscaping build-up.

Installation: At the base of the slope, in conjunction with the castellated retention battens – The retention trims must be securely placed in front of the drainage gaps in the castellated retention kerb. The angle should be installed loose over the specified protection layer.

At open perimeters/top of the slope – The retention trims must be secured in place using the specified Bauder capping sheet/ Waterproofing strips/ flashing pieces (1000 x 200 mm size), bonded to the surface of the horizontal leg and set at intervals of 400 mm between flashing pieces. The main capping sheet/ membrane/ waterproofing must be overlapped by a minimum of 100 mm.

Hard edge (minimum 300 mm width): The retention trims should be used in conjunction with the pebble vegetation barrier/ hard edge.

Precautionary note: When cutting metal, please ensure that appropriate tools and personal protection equipment are used.
