Root barrier | Supplied by others.For slopes below 10° only. (Roof slopes 10° upwards a hard edge should be supplied using paving slabs as an alternative to 20/40mm round river washed pebbles). A vegetation barrier must be provided to all perimeters, abutments penetrations including protrusions i.e. man-safe posts etc. We recommend 20/ 40 mm rounded river washed pebbles. Stones/ aggregates with sharp edges must not be used i.e. flint. In accordance with current GRO guidelines, the specified barrier widths are as follows:
The current barrier guidelines are set by the GRO codes of practice that Bauder follows and promotes. These are guidelines and not currently a legal requirement under British Standards or Building Regulations. However, not following these guidelines may affect an insurance claim in the unlikely event of a fire. Consequently, Bauder Ltd cannot accept liability for issues arising from non-compliance with the current GRO guidelines. |

Drainage layer | BauderGREEN DSE 20 drainage board.HDPE 20 mm depth water storage and multi-directional drainage layer. Roofs pitched between 1-5°.Used on roofs 1–5° finished falls. Loose laid (open profile cup up) on to the Protection Layer (or WFRL on inverted roofs) over completed waterproofing to provide continuous drainage within hard and soft landscaping. It is primarily used where the load is moderate, such as extensive green roofs, beneath paving laid on sand/ cement or gravel bedding or within planter beds. Boards are to be interlocked by a minimum of one profile cup and all board joints staggered. Cut to fit closely around penetrations and outlets.
The drainage/ water storage board also provides a suitable base surface for building concrete or brick kerbs/ walls. The specified infill haunching should be installed over the board to the required depth of cover, poured directly into the profile cup of the board. These should be constructed to provide an adequate support for the raised masonry planters. BauderGREEN DSE 40 drainage board.HDPE 40 mm depth water storage and multi-directional drainage layer. Roofs pitched between 0-5°. Used on roofs 0–5° finished falls. Loose laid (open profile cup up) on to the Protection Layer (or WFRL on inverted roofs) over completed waterproofing to provide continuous drainage within hard and soft landscaping. It is primarily used where the load is moderate to high, such as extensive and intensive green roofs. Its compressive strength makes it suitable beneath paving laid on sand/ cement or gravel bedding or within planter beds. Boards are to be interlocked by a minimum of one profile cup and all board joints staggered. The ‘X’ stamped impression on the highpoint of the cup moulding indicates where boards overlap. Cut to fit closely around penetrations and outlets.
The drainage/ water storage board also provides a suitable base surface for building concrete or brick kerbs/ walls. The specified infill haunching should be installed over the board to the required depth of cover, poured directly into the profile cup of the board. These should be constructed to provide an adequate support for the raised masonry planters. BauderGREEN WSP 75 / 50 reservoir board.Water storage, multi-directional drainage layer available in two depths 50mm or 75mm. Roofs pitched between 0-25°. Used on roofs 0–25° finished falls (the only suitable Drainage and Protection layers for slopes 6° upwards). Boards laid over the entire area to provide continuous drainage and increased water capacity for the vegetation. Loose laid (open cups up) on to the Protection Layer (or WFRL on inverted roofs) over completed waterproofing ensuring that the rebated boards are properly interlocked to provide adequate anchorage prior to the soil being laid. The board cups can be filled with water to provide temporary loading against wind uplift prior to installing the remaining landscaping elements in accordance with the specification. In the event of any confusion concerning this item, Bauder Ltd should be contacted so that advice may be given. Cut to fit closely around penetrations and outlets. Roof slopes 6° upwards, a parapet wall or restraint kerb must be provided to support the water storage/ drainage board at the base of the slope. This should be included within the deck construction and reference made within the waterproofing specification also. This in turn will restrain and stabilize the landscaping against imposed shear load forces.

Filter membrane | BauderGREEN FV 125 filter fleece.Fine mesh PP geotextile used in conjunction with Bauder substrates. Bauder Filter Fleece is designed to separate and contain Bauder substrates from the drainage element of the green roof system (for slopes 0–5°). It prevents fine material from being washed out of the substrate layer. Loose laid over the drainage layer. The fleece should be taken up the sides of the substrate between the substrate and drainage trim or pebble margin. Fleece joints should be overlapped 150 mm. Fleece should not be taken over the top of drainage outlets. Upstands (Hard landscaping): Extend to top of perimeter abutments and trim flush just below finished surface level. A filter layer is not used over reservoir board on slopes 6° or above, where the reservoir board is directly filled with substrate growing medium. However, a separate strip of Bauder Filter Fleece must still be used to separate the growing medium from the vegetation barrier at perimeter abutments and around pipe protrusions, outlet inspection chambers etc. dressed up all upstands and around all protrusions to at least flush with the finished surface level. At abutments the Filter Fleece must be used to separate the vegetation/drainage barrier and substrate growing medium by extending it 500 mm beneath the reservoir board and then bringing it up between these two items.

Planting systems | - |
Planting medium | BauderGREEN SUB-EM UK extensive substrate.Recycled crushed brick, expanded clay, shale, composted pine bark. Minimum 80 mm depth. Lightweight, free draining substrates designed as a growing medium for a range of different plant species. This FLL/ GRO compliant substrate provides a free draining, growing medium for extensive green roof systems. Additionally, it provides aeration qualities with some inherent water retention.
Normally installed above a Filter Fleece and drainage board product. Substrates are raked out to give an even coverage of the required depth after settlement. Handle in the driest condition possible. Do not handle or install when wet or frozen. Start by applying two equal layers, building up to the required maximum depth. Gently firm each layer before spreading the next. Allowance should be made for any settlement that may occur. It is recommended that ‘measuring stick’ markers of the required depth be used around the roof area to ensure that a minimum acceptable thickness of growing medium is achieved. Depending on size and access of the project the ‘substrate’ can be supplied by various methods i.e. tipper, big bags, or sacks. Prior to costing this element of the installation, the ‘Bauder Approved Contractor’ must contact Bauder Ltd so that they may advise on the best solution on any specific contract. Trellis Substrate restraint (including for all slopes above 16º): Provision must be made by the installing contractor for supplying and fabricating 25 x 50 mm untreated timber formed into a trellis frame that is supported at the base of the slope (resting against the protection layer). The trellis is to form a series of retaining grids 400 mm square and used on all slopes between 16–25º. This trellis will provide initial retention Important note regarding alternative substrates: Alternative substrates are not recommended for Bauder supplied planting. |
Planting requirements | BauderGREEN Plugs native wildflower/sedum.These succulent plants are drought, wind and frost tolerant, will steadily grow and spread to provide an even vegetative cover over time. Supply and plant a mixture of Bauder supplied sedum and herbs plug plants in accordance with the landscape designers or ecologists planting schedule and drawings (where provided). All operatives carrying out the vegetation installation should refer to the Bauder installation and establishment guidelines for vegetation plugs, which is available from Bauder Ltd.
Planted into the growing medium at a rate of 20 plants/m². The plant coverage rate should be increased to 25 plants/m² in areas subject to wind erosion i.e. corner zones, ridges, perimeters etc. Plant trays should be lifted to roof level and unpacked immediately, or alternatively may be kept for a maximum of two days in cool covered storage prior to lifting to roof level. Spring and autumn are the most suitable times of year to plant the plugs. It is essential that both the growing medium and the plugs are thoroughly watered both prior to and immediately after installation. Plug plants will need to be kept moist for 10 weeks after installation. Establishment Watering Requirements Surface watering for the first 10 weeks following installation (to ensure the substrate remains moist to the touch). It is the responsibility of the roofing contractor to liaise with the main contractor/ building owner to provide water and ensure that the planted and fertilised growing medium is thoroughly irrigated immediately after installation. An adequate mains water supply of sufficient pressure must be available and operational prior to the plants being delivered and installed. Initial watering must be by surface mounted sprinklers. See the Bauder Watering Guide document for detailed information on watering requirements. Bauder Ltd accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the condition of installed planting that is not properly watered or irrigated following landscaping works. |

Fertilizer | Bauder Xero Flor Organic Fertiliser. Bauder Sedum Blankets are grown in a shallow growing medium which contains very little nutrient, so the annual application of fertiliser is crucial to ensure that the plants remain healthy. Fertiliser should ideally be applied during March/April, as it helps the plants to prepare for extreme weather conditions and flowering whilst also allowing the different species to gain sufficient nutrients without competing against each other. Organic fertilizer can be obtained direct from Bauder in 25 kg bags, which is sufficient for an area of 312.5 m² when applied at the recommended rate of 80 g/m². Areas of up to 30 m² may be applied using either a handheld spreader or strewn by hand from a bucket. Larger roofs should always be done using a trolley applicator, which can be purchased direct from Bauder. Always apply the fertilizer at the given rate written on the bag. It is recommended that the fertilizer is lightly ‘watered in’ immediately after application, to avoid “burning” of the foliage, which may occur if fertilizer pellets settle on the leaves. Dung-based organic fertilizers should be avoided. |
Roof Slope Range | Flat (0–5°). Pitched (6–25°). |
Accessories | Not required. BauderGREEN KFL AL 100/80 edge trim. Perforated edge/ drainage trim used to frame and contain the green roof build-up. AL80/ 100 is specifically for use within substrate based green roofs. AL80/ 100 must always be used in conjunction with the pebble vegetation barrier (below 10° only)/ or hard edge (such as a paver). Normally installed directly onto waterproofing, the drainage trims can be welded down using lengths of the waterproofing membrane. The trim is used to frame the green roof build up and should be completed and inspected prior to living material being delivered to site. See Bauder Green Roof Installation Guide for full details.
Precautionary note: when cutting metal, please ensure that appropriate tools and personal protection equipment are used. BauderGREEN AL 150 edge trim. BauderGREEN KS ALU 250 inspection chamber. The BauderGREEN KS ALU 250 inspection chamber is fabricated from a perforated aluminium sheet with an opening/ lockable lid and is used for intensive and extensive soft landscaping, as well as ballasted inverted roofs. Install centrally over rainwater outlets. A simple on-site modification allows the unit to be used over outlets that are located close to wall or kerb abutments. The Inspection Chamber is suitable for landscaping depths of less than 100 mm. Where landscaping is deeper than 100 mm, the 50 mm or 100 mm height adaptors can be added as necessary to achieve the required height to be level with or slightly proud of the surrounding landscaping. Surround: Using 20/ 40 mm grade washed pebbles; the inspection chamber must be surrounded by a 500 mm vegetation barrier to prevent unwanted growth obstructing the drainage system.
