Application

The build up is most suitable for large scale or more complex areas as it is a very flexible design and can be built into the existing structure.

Description

ShieldINTENSIVE provides the most vibrant and aesthetically pleasing living roof finish. ShieldINTENSIVE systems are principally designed to create recreational and amenity spaces for people to enjoy. They are generally accessible and contain features similar to traditional gardens including lawns, trees, shrubs and hard landscaped areas. Intensive green roof systems involve using greater substrate depths (usually above 200mm) and often create a larger weight loading on the roof. Intensive green roof systems require a higher level of maintenance, including regular irrigation.


Components:

  • Shield waterproofing system.
  • Suitable Shield insulation.
  • ShieldGEOTEX Filter Layer.
  • ShieldMAT Drainage Layer.
  • ShieldGEOTEX Filter Layer.
  • ShieldINTENSIVE Growing Medium.
