Green roof system over sip roof.

Todd i am a designer sip material supplier and i am looking at a large townhouse project. Green roof systems may be modular with drainage layers filter cloth growing media and plants already prepared in movable often interlocking grids or loose laid built up whereby each component of the system may be installed separately. We maintain consistent r value throughout the e sip home panel kits and past the exterior wall see diagram. A strong resilient roof is a home s first line of defense when the roof deck is exposed to weather.

In the end holladay says the complications of overcoming inherent weaknesses of a sips roof might be an argument for choosing another roof system altogether. I was wondering if anybody has done or has recommendations about a green roof over a sip roof. The pitch of the roof is very low only 1 2 inch in 12 and the metal roofing has been applied directly over the sips with no air channel beneath the roofing for ventilation. Load would be 25 lbs per sq ft.

Green roof would be 4 inches of soil plants. Several assemblies that prevent shingle ridging are described in the builder s guide to structural insulated panels sips. The roof structure is 10 25 sips on a 2 12 pitch and the developers are going with either metal roofing or a torch down system. Options include a persist roof a hybrid design that includes rigid foam over the sheathing and dense packed cellulose in the rafter bays or an uninsulated roof over a vented.

Build for the future with extreme s structural insulated panels sips the high thermal values and strength properties of extreme s sips are highly beneficial for roof construction. When the house was built melton sealed the seams between roof panels with tape applied on the bottom of the panels. Walls roofs up to 3m x 15m. Extreme s pre insulated sips offer an option for a high performance roof framing solution that is 15 times tighter than conventional construction practices making it easier to control indoor air environment.

Getting full insulation coverage over the entire ceiling is easy with our e sip roof panels. Our e sip panel is made up of expanded polystyrene eps. We re planning to use steel sips to put a low pitch flat roof on an existing brick 2 story building 25 x30. Zip system roof assembly combines our revolutionary integrated sheathing and flashing tape or liquid flashing to provide a sealed roof for protection against moisture intrusion during construction or if high winds strip the roof covering away.

Specifying a cold roof or simply over sheathing the roof. The key to every good building is a good roof.
