SEDUM UltraLite Pre-vegetated Mat
EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SYSTEM
SGT’s SEDUM UltraLite Pre-vegetated Mat is cultivated with our most durable and drought tolerant
species of sedum to withstand even the harshest environments (high winds, cold, drought, and heat).
SGT’s mats contain 8-12 species of roof top proven sedum which flower at varying times from late
spring through to fall; producing colourful star-like flowers of vibrant yellows and pinks to reds and
whites. Once blooming has commenced for the season, the foliage colour changes in the fall to create
another colourful palate of rich reds, oranges, light greens, and browns. In the spring, the sedum
comes back to life out of dormancy and continues this stunning and dynamic growth cycle.
SGT’s mats are environmentally sustainable. We produce our mats without soil. In doing so we use
less than half the water required by conventional pre-vegetated mat production and less fertilizer,
while reducing the messiness of install. Further, SGT’s carrier mats are made from 100% recycled
components or decomposable components. During harvesting, no mechanical damage occurs to the
roots, meaning the roots are able to penetrate the growing substrate (loose or block substrate system)
in a matter of days.
SGT’s mats are produced at our greenhouse facility in Prince Edward County (ON, CANADA). Because
our mats weigh less than conventional mats, we are able to supply in larger rolls. This results in
reduced time for vegetation to fill in between mat seams as well as streamlining the install.

INSTALLATION SUMMARY
•
It is necessary to promptly install the pre-vegetated mats once they have been received. Store the mats
in a cool place until install.
•
For extensive flat and sloped installs, Sedum UltraLite Pre-Vegetated Mats are to be installed directly
over the installed Substrate Blocks or layered substrate. Substrate depth required for the sedum mats
is 7.6 cm (minimum) to 10.2 cm (3 in. – 4 in.). Simply roll out the mat on top of the interlocked substrate
blocks or loose substrate, stake into place, and water thoroughly to promote root growth into
moistened substrate.
Upon install, the mats need to be irrigated regularly to provide the best growing conditions for
establishment.
Irrigation is not necessary after successful root penetration into the substrate unless during prolonged
drought periods. If irrigation is necessary according to the green roof professional, SGT’s Smart Sensor
performance monitoring system can be used to detect when watering is needed and remotely activate
the irrigation system.
For eco lawns, simply roll out the sedum mat onto the existing clean soil, stake, and water thoroughly
to promote root growth into moistened soil.
The carrier mat the vegetation is grown on acts as a barrier to weed growth from seeds contained within
the soil.

SGT’s SEDUM + POLLINATOR Mat contains our SEDUM mat species with the addition of 8-10 roof top proven
wildflower and herb varieties to add a splash of colour and variability to your green roof. Although our sedum
attracts pollinators (e.g., butterflies and bumblebees), research has shown that wildflowers on green roofs
tend to attract twice as many bee species and five times as many blossom visits in comparison to roofs where
only sedum is growing.
SGT’s mats are environmentally sustainable. We produce our mats without soil. In doing so we use less than
half the water required by conventional pre-vegetated mat production and less fertilizer, while reducing the

SGT’s INTERACTIVE INTENSIVE Green Roof Systems
SGT’s Interactive Green Roof Systems are the most usable, impactful, and customizable green roof designs. As the system name implies, the interactive
intensive systems allow direct interaction of humans with nature; whether it be for leisure (perennial garden with walkways and ponds, break area for
staff/residents), urban farming (vegetable production), recreation (parks, tennis court, etc.), or a way to create more usable space (parking garage).
Intensive systems are unique in they require extra structural design to support the particular load. For gardens (perennial, vegetable) and parks (shrubs
and tree), the depth of the growing medium is greater and requires a complex irrigation system for maintenance.
SGT’s team of engineers, scientists, and designers will work with you or your architect/designer to make your roof top vision a reality!

ECO TURF UltraLite Pre-vegetated Mat
ECONOMICALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE TURFING
Maintaining grass to a high standard is costly from both an economic and environmental perspective.
SGT’s ECO TURF UltraLite Pre-vegetated Mat is cultivated with our most durable and drought tolerant
species of fine fescue to withstand even the harshest environments (high winds, cold, drought, and heat).
Because of this, our eco turf requires less maintenance in comparison to convention tuff and sod
products. In fact, significantly reduced irrigation, mowing, and fertilizer inputs are realized with the Eco
Turf. SGT’s Eco Turf allows for grass to still be used as an economically and environmentally sustainable
option.
SGT’s mats are environmentally sustainable. We produce our mats without soil. In doing so we use less
than half the water required by conventional pre-vegetated mat production and less fertilizer, while
reducing the messiness of install. Further, SGT’s carrier mats are made from 100% recycled components
or decomposable components. During harvesting, no mechanical damage occurs to the roots, meaning
that the roots are able to penetrate the growing substrate (pre-existing soil, loose or block substrate
systems) in a matter of days.
SGT’s mats are produced at our greenhouse facility in Prince Edward County (ON, CANADA). Because
our mats weigh less than conventional mats, we are able to supply in larger rolls. This results in reduced
time for vegetation to fill in between mat seams as well as streamlining the install.

SMART SENSORS
Performance Monitoring & Irrigation System
EXTENSIVE, SEMI-INTENSIVE, AND INTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
SGT’s Performance Monitoring SMART SENSOR System
SGT’s Smart Sensor System is composed of wireless sensor nodes that SGT will
place on your roof to determine the characteristics and improve the performance
of your green roof. The Smart Sensor System provides an interactive experience
between the environment on the roof and the building owner. The Smart Sensors
can be installed on flat or pitched extensive and semi-intensive, and on intensive
green roof systems.
The following features are provided by the Smart Sensor System:
1.
Calibrated specifically to the roof top soil/substrate type and plant species.
Smart Sensors are calibrated specifically to the substrate characteristics and
plant species on your roof. The Smart Sensor System allows for the more
efficient use of irrigation water than conventional green roof irrigation
systems.
2.
Activate the irrigation system to deliver water to exactly where it is needed
and the quantity required.
Smart Sensors will determine where on the roof water is required and will
activate the irrigation system to deliver water to the particular area and in the
quantity needed.
3.
Monitors roof vitals. Provide the owner with quantitative details about the environmental services the green roof is providing.
Smart Sensors monitor the soil and air temperature, membrane temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture, electrical conductivity (an indicator
of nutrient status). Smart Sensors provide the end user with useful information, such as concerning how much rainwater is being stored, how
much cooling the roof is providing, etc.
4.
Increase the performance of the green roof.
The Smart Sensor system is designed specifically to create the optimal environment for the plants to grow and flourish; whether it be activating
the irrigation or relaying information on the electrical conductivity of the roof.

Substrate BlockTM System
SUBSTRATE BLOCKTM
EXTENSIVE AND SEMI-INTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
The Substrate BlockTM System
The SGT patented Substrate BlockTM can best be described as a combination of a ‘layered’ green roof system and ‘modular’ green roof system. Upon
closer inspection, the differences between both systems are very evident. The substrate block is composed of a solidified and dry soil brick contained
on 5 sides with a filter fabric/water retention fabric. The filter fabric is mechanically and permanently attached to the underlying drainage layer. Thus,
the Substrate Block contains not only the substrate/soil in a dried state, but also the filter and drainage layers, and wind uplift prevention features. SGT
has designed the Substrate Block System with accessibility in mind.
The Substrate Block System has several features that make it a superior
solution to extensive and semi-intensive green roof installs. These features
are unique to the block system and include:
1)
Instant consistency in substrate depth.
SGT produces the Substrate Blocks in depths of 7 – 20 cm (3-6 in.) for extensive and
semi-intensive installs. Please refer to our standard Substrate Block dimensions in
the chart below.
2)
VERY lightweight.
The Substrate Block weighs approximately 4 lb/ft2 upon delivery/install. The water
holding capacity of the substrate is not compromised with this reduced weight. The
substrate in the block is activated after install with water. The saturated weight of
10-20 lb/ft2.
3)
Engineered to withstand horizontal and vertically applied forces.
This allows for the successful install of green roofs not only on flat roofs but also on 12/12 pitched roofs and vertical walls, and anything in between.
4)
Easy to install and durable during the installation process.
The Substrate Block System combines the features of erosion control mitigation, soil deposition, compaction, and drainage and filter deployment in one step
without the need of blower trucks. The blocks are dry and light and as such can easily be brought to the roof height using traditionally shingle lifting technologies.
In addition, as the blocks at installation time are ridged, a worker has safely walk on the system during the install process. The Substrate Block System allows
green roofs to be installed in half the time, saving time and money.
5)
Increased green roof stability and erosion control.
The overlap of drainage material and our mechanical fastening system ensures stability on flat and pitched/sloped roof installs. The drainage layer of the each
block Interlocks with the adjacent blocks to create a monolithic unit. Further, the filter fabric on the sides of the block contain the substrate, prevent erosion
and allow roots to grow freely into adjacent blocks; making SGT’s Block System especially useful on sloped installs.
6)
Increased storm water retention.
The addition of filter fabric on the sides of the block facilitates a significant increase in storm water retention in comparison to layered or tray systems.
7)
Mass produced for immediate availability and customized blocks for particular installs.
Contact us to discuss with our team of engineers, scientists, and designers how we can accommodate your unique install needs.

SHELL Substrate Blend
SHELL Substrate Blend
EXTENSIVE AND SEMI-INTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SYSTEMS
Our researchers have searched the land high and low for alternatives to the traditionally used
lightweight expanded aggregate products. Despite being proven performers, expanded
aggregates are born from an energy intensive production system which makes them
expensive, and not always as “green” as the plants they have been proven to support.
Additionally, they are often located beyond the boundaries of what can be defined as locally
sourced. After being wholly disappointed in not making any progress towards revealing an
alternative man made lightweight aggregate, and being a country across from any natural light
weight aggregates, we did what many have done and took a walk on a beach to relax and find
inspiration. Find it we did! Many years of research trials later, and several beaches cleaned,
we are excited to be able to offer our shell growing medium, designed specifically for extensive
vegetated roofing.
The unfortunate introduction of Zebra and Quagga Mussels into the great lakes water system
has only provided a headache to the indigenous wildlife present. What better way to deal with
the negative repercussions of invasive species then to find a sustainable and beneficial use for
them. Our shell substrate possess all the necessary physical properties (as out lined by the FLL
and regional experiences), especially storm water retention. The architecture of the shells
within the substrate matrix serves as micro reservoirs, completely accessible to the plants
growing in them for the life of the roof. SGT’s plant production facility located on the shores
of Lake Ontario is an ideal location for our collection and reuse of these invasive species. Our
SHELL substrate are truly a green innovation in green roof substrate design.

TERRA PRETA Substrate Blend
TERRA PRETA Substrate Blend
Inspiration can be found in many places, sometimes from a mountain top vista, other
times from thoughts about the future, and sometimes from 2000 year old preColumbian agricultural practices! SGT’s TERRA PRETA Substrate Blend was inspired by
anthropogenic soils located in central Amazonia, created between 500 BC and 1000 AD.
As modern experience tells us, most Amazonian soils quickly dissipate as they are
exposed to agricultural conditions. The Terra Preta are different however, as they
actively saw growth year to year with a matching amount of agricultural yield. The
indigenous peoples thoughtful application of purposefully produced char (biochar) has
in modern times been shown to endow the soil with many benefits; benefits which
every green roof growing medium could prosper from. Biochar has an ability to
dramatically reduce nutrient run off, to improve the soil's water holding capacity, to
provide a more ideal habitat for soil microorganisms, to positively alter the soil pH, to
be lightweight, to be sustainably made from waste products, as well as to significantly
increase the yield of crops grown on them.
After much research, and even more trial and error, SGT in conjunction with the
University of Guelph have revealed a green roof growing substrate which possess many
of the ancient and beneficial properties, and akin to the Shell Substrate Blend, we can
produce it on our own turf. SGT’s Terra Preta blend is ideal for all extensive, semiintensive, and intensive roofs, but was created with roof top food production on our
minds.

Substrate Blends
SGT’s Substrate Blends
A well-designed green roof substrate is crucial to the long term survival of the installation. The design of suitable substrates must take into account several factors, including:
the plants they support, the climate of the region, the availability and cost of components, the planned depth of the substrate, as well as the structural integrity of the building
which the green roof covers.
SGT believes it is essential that options for substrates are realized which reliably support plant growth, while compromising as little as possible in satisfying the requirements
of growing on the unique conditions of a roof. The use of locally available and, if possible, recycled components reduce the cost of green roofs and further contribute to the
industry's growth and positive contribution to our urban environments. Identification and examination of new component options and analysis of their performance within
the greater context of the green roof system is essential.
At SGT, we believe that there exists a healthy combination of standardization working in conjunction with necessary project specific variability. We have taken it upon ourselves
to become experts in green roof substrate formulation through university-led scientific research over the past 5 yrs., and can create precise substrate formulations which
match the requirement of your planned install.
All of SGT’s substrates are free-draining, contain low nutrient contact which keep the roof in low maintenance, and have good porosity ensuring effective aeration within the
soil. Our substrates are available in both block and loose form.

DRAINAGE MAT 10, 20
DRAINAGE MAT 10, 20
DRAINAGE MAT 10 AND 20
The drainage layer of a green roof install allows for unimpeded removal of excess water after a rain event. SGT’s drainage mats are designed to
ensure that adequate amounts of storm water is available to the plants for longer periods of time without oversaturation of the system. This allows
for optimal plant growth while avoiding anaerobic soil conditions and the pooling of retained water on the roof. Further, SGT’s drainage mat
interlocks to create a monolithic layer which is extremely stable and is able to withstand high compressive forces.
SGT’s Drainage Mats are proven to perform. Our drainage mats are composed of non-toxic and non-polluting high strength polyethylene geotextile
which demonstrate excellent chemical resistance. Our mats also contain thermal UV stabilizers for long outdoor life.
SGT’s Drainage Mats come in two different thicknesses: 10 mm and 20 mm. Drainage Mat 20 is our standard mat that is suitable to most extensive
and intensive installs. Drainage Mat 10 is typically used for extensive roof installs where minimal install weight is required.

FILTER FLEECE
FILTER FLEECE
FILTER FLEECE 20, 30, 40, 50, AND 60
The filter/moisture retention layer allows water to flow through while retaining and preventing substrate runoff. This layer also acts to store water
for the vegetation to draw from during periods of low precipitation.
SGT’s Filter Fleeces are proven to perform. Our filter mats are composed of non-toxic and non-polluting unwoven high strength polypropylene
geotextile which demonstrate excellent chemical and biological resistance. SGT’s mats also contain thermal UV stabilizers for long outdoor life.
SGT has four Filter Fleeces with varying flow rates. The required Filter Fleece is dependent on the characteristics of the roof and system
specifications of the particular install. Please contact us to assist you in selecting the required product for your green roof system.

ROOT BARRIER 10, 20, 30
ROOT BARRIER 10, 20, AND 30
All SGT’s Root Barrier Sheets protect the waterproofing membrane of the green roof from direct encroachment by plant roots. The root barrier
layer is optional depending on recommendations or requirements of the membrane manufacturer.
Root Barrier sheets are seamless and composed of high strength virgin polyethylene geotextile which demonstrates excellent chemical resistance.
This root barrier has a high puncture resistance and excellent barrier properties. The outer layers contain thermal UV stabilizers for long outdoor
life.
SGT’s Root Barrier Sheets come in three different thicknesses: 10 mil, 20 mil, and 30 mil. Generally, most extensive installs with vegetation growth
less than 50 cm require only the 10 mil barrier while semi-intensive and intensive systems with shrubs and trees require 20 mil and 30 mil barriers.

WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
Waterproofing Membrane
WetSuit® Waterproofing Membrane
SGT strongly believes that every roof requires optimal waterproofing. In fact, this is the most important step in installing any type of roof. For this reason, we have partnered
with Neptune Coatings, the developer of the WetSuit System to provide you with what we consider the best waterproofing product on the market.
The WetSuit System is a fully self-adhered, cold spray applied, self-flashing membrane with a wide variety of uses for virtually all above and below grade applications. Due to
its instant set time, WetSuit can be sprayed to any mil thickness in a single pass thus creating a truly custom and precise membrane allowing unparalleled architectural freedom
and ease of application.
WetSuit is the healthier alternative. The water-based, no VOC, low pressure, cold spray applied, non-flammable features of WetSuit eliminate job hazards such as torches,
solvents and heavy equipment.
WetSuit is unrivaled in its quality and versatility. FM testing proved to put WetSuit in a class of its own. With a wind uplift of an unheard of Class 1-990, the ability to withstand
severe hail, Class A Fire Rating, a high puncture resistance and 1600% elongation, WetSuit exhibits unrivalled quality. In addition, WetSuit is proven as a viable Air and Vapor
Barrier. With very low perms, WetSuit can be employed not only in below grade applications and roofing, but in between as a seamless, fluid applied vapor barrier as well.
WetSuit saves time and money. Because WetSuit is so lightweight and with excellent adhesion to most roof surfaces, the need to tear off existing roofs is most often
eliminated, greatly reducing installation costs and environmental impact. Surface preparation is generally limited to pressure washing the old roof to provide a clean surface
for WetSuit to adhere to. Utilizing only one applicator, WetSuit can be installed at a fast and efficient rate of 1500 sq. ft. per hour, reducing crew size and job time.
WetSuit can earn LEED points for a project. WetSuit reduces construction impacts and releases minimal pollutants. There are 3 categories under which LEED credits can be
achieved:
•
•
•
Sustainable Sites Credit 7: Landscape & Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands
Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite Credit 2: Minimum Energy Performance

WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
Cool Roofs: Reflex™ WetSuit® Top Coat
Reflex was especially developed for extending the life of metal, built-up, modified bitumen, concrete, hypalon, EPDM, single-ply, spf or composite shingle roofs.
Reflex forms a waterproof elastomeric seal, uniformly covering the textured profile of various substrates to form a monolithic membrane, providing protection from
normal weathering, aging and UV exposure.
Reflex is a water based, high solid elastomeric coating that utilizes the latest advances in acrylic technology. Premium quality acrylic resins are combined with
reinforcing laminar pigments, an effective biocide package and non-migrating fire retardants, resulting in superior durability, weatherproofing, ultraviolet resistance,
algae/mildew resistance and fire retardancy. Reflex white is highly reflective, permanently flexible “breathing’” membrane, allowing moisture vapor from the
substrate or building interior to escape while remaining impervious to mass water penetration from the exterior.
Reflex is energy efficient. Reflex is certified to meet Energy Star, Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) and LEED reflectance and emissivity criteria.
