Zinco System Substrate "Rockery Type Plants" in a Big Bag, shipping included
This proven standard substrate for extensive green roofs is ideal for extensive green roofs in multi-layered construction with Sedum species and perennial herbs / shrubs from the "Rockery Type Plants" plant community.
A system substrate manufactured using Zincolit® Plus (specially processed clay tiles / clay bricks with selected aggregates), enriched with Zincohum (mature compost containing fibre materials).
Particularly suitable for extensive green roofs using a multi-layer construction with plant species from the Zinco plant list “Rockery Type Plants,” as a component of a system design with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and CE marking via ETA No. 13/0668 “Kit for Green Roofs”
The vegetation can be established by planting (e.g., Zinco root ball plants FB 50) or by dry seeding (Zinco seed mixtures “Meadow Scent,” “Country Colours,” or “Grassy Pasture”).
For species-appropriate plant development, we recommend our slow release fertiliser Zinco Plantfit® 4 M (see separate data sheet).
Available in 20 l bags, Big Bags, as bulk material, and in silo trailers.
A compression index / compacting factor of 1.35 should be used in calculations; this means that for every square meter
and cm of System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium to be installed, 13.5 liters must be ordered.

With all methods, care must be taken to ensure that the roof surface is not statically overstressed at any point (e.g. by System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium mounds)! Boards or Big Bags may therefore only be placed on a stable substrate.
Open/loose goods:
Open goods are suitable where wheel loaders can be used, the System Substrate / Substrate Soil / GrowingMedium is to be picked up directly by special vehicles or applied with flexible bulk containers or the Zinco Turbobag®. By swiveling the crane boom, a flexible bulk container can be used to coarse-spread the System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium during application.
Big Bag:
Big Bags are particularly suitable for medium and large areas where a construction or mobile crane is available, or also for small areas, provided the material can be applied directly to the roof surface by the delivering crane vehicle. The bags are attached to the crane with all four loops. By opening the discharge valve, the bags can be emptied without setting them down on the roof surface. Pre-distribution can already be carried out by slewing the crane boom. Grading is then carried out with the rake. Capacity: 1.0 m³ or 1.5 m³.
Silo trailers:
Zincolit® Plus and most System Substrates can be conveyed using conventional silo trailers. This method is particularly suitable for large areas or areas that cannot be reached by crane. With this method, the System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium can be distributed well during application, but care must be taken to protect sensitive structural elements (front walls / facades, skylight domes, etc.) against any debris that may occur. The blowing time varies depending on the hose length and the System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium to be conveyed. A water connection on the construction site is recommended to reduce dust formation.
