Green Roofs

High-Performance Netting for Green Roofs – Sustainable Reinforcement by Conwed.

Empower your green roofs with Conwed’s extruded netting solutions, delivering strong soil stabilization, reliable vegetation support, and effective erosion control – all while offering sustainable options for eco-conscious projects. From gently sloped urban gardens to challenging pitched roofs, Conwed’s engineered netting provides the reinforcement architects and contractors trust to keep green roof systems intact and thriving, without compromising on environmental goals.

Rugged Reinforcement for Thriving Green Roofs:

Conwed’s extruded netting is purpose-built for green roof performance. It adds an invisible layer of strength beneath your vegetation, securing soil and plants in place through wind, rain, and gravity. This engineered mesh acts as a reinforcement grid, giving green roofs the structural stability they need to succeed:
.

  • Prevents Soil Erosion & Slippage: By embedding a tough net within or just below the growing medium, you create a stable matrix that holds substrate and nutrients evenly across the roof. This is critical on pitched surfaces – when slopes increase beyond gentle grades (≥10°), a high-strength mesh becomes essential to prevent soil from sliding. Conwed’s netting has the tensile strength to anchor green roof layers on slopes and contoured designs where ordinary erosion blankets might fail. The result is uniform plant coverage without bare spots or runoff gullies, even after heavy storms.
    .
  • Supports Vegetation Establishment: Young sedum, grasses, or wildflowers on a new roof need time to root securely. Our netting provides a supportive framework during this establishment phase, protecting delicate plantings from being dislodged by wind or washout. Roots intertwine with the net’s apertures, creating a interlocking network that helps plants develop a mature, interlaced root system more quickly. Over time, the netting and roots work together to form a resilient vegetative mat that can withstand droughts or high winds. By ensuring better root anchorage and moisture retention, Conwed’s netting helps green roofs achieve healthy 95%+ plant coverage faster – yielding the immediate visual impact and ecological benefits that owners and urban planners expect from green roofing.
    .

  • Reliable on Any Roof – Flat or Sloped: Whether it’s a flat expansive roof or a complex slope, Conwed extruded nets adapt to the project. They’re used beneath pre-cultivated sedum blankets and in built-in-place systems alike, adding strength without bulk. (Even the most widely used biodegradable sedum blankets, built on coir fiber, are typically recommended only up to moderate slopes; for more demanding pitches or long-term reinforcement, Conwed’s netting provides the extra insurance of a high-performance mesh.) With uniform open apertures, our netting also complements drainage layers by not impeding water flow – so you maintain efficient stormwater management while fortifying the green roof structure.

Naconet™ Compostable Netting for Green Roofs

For projects that demand an industrial compostable solution, Conwed’s Naconet™ is the game-changer. This extruded net delivers the same tensile strength, flexibility, and UV resistance as conventional plastic netting during the roof’s establishment period, yet it will fully compost into water, CO₂, and organic biomass afterwards. In practice, Naconet™ reinforces the green roof just as effectively as polypropylene mesh – holding soil, enabling root interlock, and resisting loads – but once the vegetation is self-supporting, the net gradually biodegrades. No microplastic is left behind. This means no need for removal and no long-term microplastic pollution or wildlife risk.

Naconet™ is certified to stringent compostability standards, ensuring it breaks down safely. For environmentally driven projects or jurisdictions with plastic restrictions, Naconet™ provides a high-performance, compliant alternative that aligns with green building certifications and “future-proof” design principles.
