Product information "Zinco System Substrate Roof Garden loose in bulk material, incl. freight"

Substrate produced on the basis of Zincolit® Plus (specially prepared clay tiles / clay bricks with selected additives) and other components such as sandy soil, enriched with Zincohum (mature compost with fibre material). Particularly suitable for intensive greening with more demanding perennials or, with higher substrate heights (for substrate heights of > 35 cm, the Zincolit® Plus sub-substrate must also be used), also for shrubs and trees. The vegetation is established using root ball plants. Intensive greening should be watered at least during prolonged dry periods. For species-appropriate plant development, we recommend our slow release fertilizer Zinco Plantfit® 4 M (see separate data sheet). Under constant control of the special laboratory for plant nutrition Labor Dr. Meyer-Spasche according to the FLL green roof guidelines. Available in Big Bags and as open goods. A compression index / compacting factor of 1.45 must be used in the calculation, i.e. 14.5 l must be ordered per square meter and cm of System Substrate / Substrate Soil / Growing Medium to be installed.

Zincolit® Plus, Zincohum and the Zinco System Substrates are offered in different delivery options. Depending on the size, accessibility and load bearing capacity of a roof surface, one of the methods listed below will be particularly suitable.
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 from 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.
