System/Material Acceptance and Product Details

The information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual and offered below does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer’s data or specifications, nor is this system and its various materials recommended or endorsed by the Guarantor. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the Design Authority.

Vegetated Roof System Manufacturer: Carlisle SynTec Systems Canada
Accepted for the RoofStar Guarantee Program: October 25, 2024
Accepted for application in: Vegetated Roof Systems
Acceptance Criteria: Refer to the RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs
System Summary: Carlisle Extensive Roof Garden System, also known as a "shallow" green roof, is a built-in-place system with a media depth ranging from 7 cm (2.75 in) to 12.7 cm (5 in). Extensive green roofs are the most commonly specified type due to their lightweight design and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for retrofit applications. The shallower growing media depth is well-suited for low-growing, drought-tolerant vegetation like sedum, which requires minimal maintenance compared to other green roof types (Adapted from the manufacturer's summary. See the link at right to the manufacturer's online resources page for more information).

Manufacturer online resources: Roof Garden Systems
System Type: Extensive
System Depth: 101.6 mm (4") to 127 mm (5")
Growing Media Depth: 70 mm (1-1/4") to 127 mm (5")
Vegetation Profile: Sedum-Herbaceous-Grass
Suitable climate zones: All BC zones, subject to manufacturer's approval

^†Guarantor's Notes: Systems labeled "Inverted" are designed for a protected membrane roof assembly, also known as an inverted roof assembly.

While Semi-intensive and Intensive vegetated roof systems are limited to only protected membrane roofs (See the Sentence 1.1.3.2.(5) in the "RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs"), some vegetated roof system manufacturers offer their systems for conventionally insulated roofs. To request a written Variance to the published limitation, follow the requirements in Article 1.1.3.6..

^*Conditions and Limitations: Note that system thickness is dependent upon the selection of components, which is determined (in part) by design parameters, including hydrological requirements. Consult with the vegetated roof system manufacturer for options and saturated system weight.

Also note that vegetation coverage under the RoofStar Vegetated Roof Guarantee applies only to extensive systems planted with mats or trays - see Part 3 of Division A for more about coverage.
