  • Watering: The media can hold 5.5 times its weight in water, allowing for both overhead and subterranean watering methods.
  • Protection Layer: Ensures uniform water distribution, reduces evaporation, and extends the tile's lifespan, contributing to additional LEED points.
  • Ready to Grow: Pre-drilled openings accommodate various plants and grasses.
Specifications:
  • Size: 10” x 20”, 1.4 cubic feet
  • Weight: 2.5 lbs dry, 15.5 lbs saturated

  • Green Roof Panels: Configurable for specific requirements, with options for different protective coverings like gray filter cloth or natural Coco fiber.
Additional Features:
