Product description

Application area: TDS is a lightweight substrate rich in minerals ideal for quick plant establishment. TDS 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 intensive and semi-intensive living roofs.

Benefits:

  • lightweight
  • excellent water permeability and water retention properties
  • excellent ventilation properties for the root balls of the vegetation
  • 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
