Green roofs and gardens
A green roof only shines with the right finishing and protection. That is why at Dejond Metals we have functional and aesthetic accessories that take your sustainable project to the next level. You have plenty of choice in terms of both design and colour. Everything can be arranged in consultation with our Metal Service Centre.
Why green roof accessories are indispensable
Installing a green roof involves more than just plants and substrate. The right components play a crucial role in the sustainability, functionality and aesthetics of the whole. Below are the main reasons why accessories should be part of every green roof:
Neat zones, tidy finish
With retaining profiles or separation profiles, you can visually and functionally separate different zones, such as planting and gravel. This creates a clean layout and prevents substrate or gravel from spreading outside the designated zone.
Access and maintenance via inspection chambers and covers
Access points are needed for inspecting drainage layers, checking water drainage or conducting repairs. Inspection chambers make it possible to do all this without damaging the roof surface. We offer various designs and attachments so that the chamber fits the height of the roof.
Safety of the roof waterproofing
Accessories such as profiles and covers protect the roof waterproofing against mechanical stress, root penetration or physical damage. Carefully designed connections and finishes keep the roof bedding intact.
Flexibility and customisation
Every roof shape is unique, and fortunately, so are our customised accessories. Thanks to flexible profiles, you can also neatly finish curves, curved shapes or irregular contours. This means you don't lose any aesthetic or functional quality on complex buildings.
Aesthetics and appearance
In addition to function, visual appearance also plays a role: the right accessories ensure clean edges, neat transitions and a finished whole. They contribute to the professionalism and appearance of the green roof.
What components do we supply?
Retaining profiles
These profiles separate zones on the green roof (such as planting from gravel), create visually clean lines and keep materials in place.
-
Straight profiles: for simple edging along long, straight lines
-
Perforated variants: ensure optimal water drainage, which is a must, especially on sloping roofs
-
Flexible/bendable profiles: ideal for bends, curves or irregular roof shapes
Inspection shafts & covers
Inspection points are essential for maintenance, inspection and any repairs. We supply basic wells, risers and covers in various sizes:
-
Base wells: straight or bendable profiles that can be shaped on site
-
Extension pieces: to compensate for height differences in a base pit
-
Covers: there is a cover for every pot, and the same goes for your green roof – available in various sizes and designs
Connectors
For a neat finish, smooth transitions between profiles are essential.
-
Universal connecting plates/couplings : for quick installation without additional tools
-
Corner couplings : for connecting profiles neatly in corners without visible fastenings
