Extensive roof gardens created with the Perliroof - Perligarden system with large herbaceous perennials and small ground cover shrubs are characterised by their reduced thickness, extreme lightness and low water requirements.
Herbaceous perennials do not develop woody structures like shrubs, but despite this they are plants that can survive the succession of seasons for several years. The most common perennial species are small in size and produce compact vegetation, including ground cover; the larger, rarer species have a very substantial impact on the aesthetics of gardens.
Perennials have usually developed a deep root system that allows them to lose their aerial part during the cold months and to re-sprout when spring arrives; however, there are also completely or partially evergreen perennials that maintain their foliage throughout the year. Among the many species of herbaceous perennials, one can distinguish between those that flower in summer and those that flower continuously from spring until autumn. The reduced thickness of the stratigraphy makes these systems the ideal solution for the realisation of garden roofs on roofs capable of supporting low loads.
The stratigraphies can be realised both on flat surfaces and on sloping surfaces even up to 100% by adopting specific precautions during the laying phase for anchoring to the ground and stabilisation.
Perliroof is a roof garden system.
PERLIGARDEN® brings together patented solutions for green roofs, roof gardens, roundabouts and grassed parking areas, fences, balconies and green walls. The system is able to activate the conditions for optimal vegetative development, particularly in the Mediterranean climate. Perliroof® is the Italian patented system for intensive and extensive green roofs, which are able to maintain optimal agronomic conditions even with limited thickness stratigraphy. For extensive green roofs with reduced irrigation and maintenance requirements, Perliroof® Mediterranean extensive is born with GrowmatTM mats, based on expanded perlite.
Perliwall® and Perlifence® are designed for green vertical walls and for self-supporting fences and balcony parapets. Perliparking® allows for grassed parking areas with high water storage. PERLIGARDEN® is the system for greened roundabouts and traffic islands. At the heart of all PERLIGARDEN® System solutions is Igroperlite® and all systems are a guarantee of quality and reliability. Perlite Italiana offers a technical consultancy service during the design phase, making use of experts and landscapers. A network of qualified applicators guarantees a personalised service in the realisation phase of the systems and in their maintenance. All elements are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001, are CE-marked where required and have been qualified according to the UNI 11235 code of practice.
