Zinco System Substrate for Roof Gardens, bulk material in a dump truck, including freight
Depending on the dumping height / coverage height, this proven standard substrate for intensive greening is particularly suitable for planting demanding perennial herbs / shrubs, taller shrubs and trees.
Substrate consisting of Zincolit® Plus (high-quality crushed brick with selected mineral aggregates) and other components, such as sandy soil, enriched with Zincohum (substrate compost enriched with fibre materials).
Particularly suitable for intensive green roofs with demanding perennials. Deeper thicknesses (At thickness of more than 350 mm please install additional the mineral sub Substrate Zincolit® Plus) can support shrubs, bushes and trees, as part of a system build-up with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and CE marking based on ETA No. 13/0668 Kit for Green Roofs.
The vegetation can be established by planting plug plants. Intensive roof gardens require irrigation during dry periods. For optimal plant development the use of an appropriate slow release fertilizer (e.g. ZinCo Plantfit® 4 M) is recommended (as shown in a special data sheet).
Available in Big Bags and as loose material in lorries.
Please calculate with a compaction factor of 1.45. That means for every square metre and 10 mm of substrate you order 14.5 l.

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.
