Product description

Application area: SDS is a lightweight substrate rich in minerals ideal for quick plant establishment even in a shallow layer of only 80 - 120 mm deep. SDS ensures good thermal and water retention properties in the long run. Proper pH value, balanced nutrient content and soil conditioner are vital properties present in all of our engineered green roof growing media range that we offer. It is such engineered properties that enhance the growth and developement of the vegetation on our extensive living roofs while limiting the growth of garden weeds.

Benefits:

  • lightweight
  • limited weed growth
  • excellent water permeability and water retention properties
  • forms a stable layer that does not collapse in the long run
  • complies with the FLL Green Roof Guidelines - Guidelines for the Planning, Construction and Maintenance of Green Roofs
