The geoSYSTEM grids revolutionize the way we utilize roof decks, enabling the creation of surfaces that can be filled with gravel or covered with grass. This allows roof decks to serve as green roads, parking lots, pedestrian paths, and recreational areas, seamlessly connecting people with nature.

To create a durable and ecological surface on a roof deck, geoSYSTEM grids can be successfully utilized. They offer an innovative approach to designing spaces on roof decks, allowing for a harmonious blend of nature and functionality. Depending on the needs, you can choose the appropriate type of grate:

geoSYSTEM G40 grids – perfect for gravel applications:

• High durability: A grid with a strength of 300 tons/m² ensures excellent stability and durability of the surface.
• Erosion protection: The grid shields the surface from erosion caused by rainfall and wind. Stones are held in place, preventing material dispersion and reducing the risk of erosion.
• Stability and safety: The use of the grid makes the surface stable and even, providing safe conditions for walking or parking on the roof deck.
• Water permeability: The grid allows free water flow, aiding in maintaining proper drainage on the roof deck. This prevents mud formation and reduces the risk of surface flooding.
  
  

geoSYSTEM GS grids – perfect for grass applications:

• Drainage and water runoff: Perforated grids with a height of 10 cm allow for effective drainage of excess water. Thanks to their open structure, rainwater can freely permeate through the grids, reducing the risk of flooding the grass. Water drainage also helps prevent water stagnation, which could damage the grass roots.
• Root protection: The gridsshield the grass roots from mechanical damage and erosion caused by rainfall or wind. They provide a durable protective barrier, allowing the roots to grow undisturbed.
• Reduction of the heat island effect: Vegetation aids in reducing the heat island effect, which can occur in urban areas with a high amount of concrete and asphalt. Grass absorbs sunlight, contributing to a decrease in ambient temperature.

To ensure that the roof deck surface effectively fulfills its purpose, it is essential to prepare an appropriate substructure, which varies depending on the intended fill for the grids.
