LIVING GREEN ROOF

A vegetated roof is not a mere decorative element in modern architecture. The growing interest in green roofs lies primarily in the whole range of advantages they offer your home and its surroundings.

Our Mission

We contribute to improvements in the environment by actively helping to make your green roof

!

Improving the environment we live in is a natural need. A living roof makes a significant contribution to this!

A twenty‐​first‐​century person is aware that a roof is not a mere umbrella. Using the area that covers a house for other purposes and thus elevating the roof to a highly‐​useful element is very satisfying for anyone who decides to do so.

Main advantages of a green roof:

Protects and extends the life of a house roof

Reduces energy costs

Cools a house’s interior and the surrounding area

Captures up to 90% of rainwater, which evaporates back into the air

Captures dust and converts CO² into oxygen

Eliminates urban heat islands

Dampens noise going both ways

Before you start planning

Types of Green Roofs

You can establish vegetation for an extensive roof by laying sedum mats, planting from sedum cuttings or seedlings.

Extensive Green Roof

The main advantage of vegetation on an extensive green roof is its self‐​regulation. It can live without regular irrigation and get by with rainwater. The established idea that an extensive roof is maintenance‐​free is not completely true, but it is very close.

They do not require irrigation

Maintenance only 1 – 2 times a year

Low load on roof

Vegetation survives bad droughts and frost

Implementation possible up to a roof pitch of 45°

Installation height of approx. 12 cm

Lower costs compared to an intensive green roof

They can be combined with areas that are walkable and can be used by people

Limited choice of vegetation

    The vegetation in a rooftop garden can consist of lawns, bushes, trees or useful plants.

    Intensive Green Roof

    The name is based on the need for intensive roof maintenance. It is often called a roof garden. Maintenance of an intensive roof requires time. It needs regular irrigation, fertilisation, lawn mowing and maintenance of other greenery for cultivation.

    They are usually fully walkable, often with hardened surfaces

    They provide the same or a similar useful value as a garden

    They expand your house’s living area

    Higher load on the roof

    They require regular irrigation

    Intensive maintenance

    High installation height

    Higher purchase costs

    We recommend using extensive vegetation for biosolar roofs. The special retention plate into which a PV panel structure is anchored also distributes and provides water for the vegetation under the panels.

    Biosolar Roof

    Photovoltaic panels and a green roof are a perfect combination. Panels often overheat in the summer and are not that efficient, but in combination with extensive greenery they cool down due to rainwater evaporation and their performance therefore increases by up to 15%. Thanks to the unique solution, the solar panels do not need to be anchored in the waterproofing or point‐​loaded. They are mounted in a special retention plate and the structure is then loaded with vegetation.

    Increase in output from photovoltaic panels

    Structure does not have to be anchored in the waterproofing and does not require point loading

    Combining subsidies for photovoltaics and green roofs is possible

    Most environmentally‐​friendly use of a roof

    Higher acquisition costs

      In addition to vegetation suitable for extensive green roofs, other plant species — such as grasses, perennials and woody species that have higher requirements for vegetation layer composition, water and nutrient supply — can be used on semi‐​intensive green roofs

      Semi‐​intensive Green Roof

      Semi‐​intensive green roofs (also called simple intensive) are a transitional type between extensive and intensive green roofs.

      Varied vegetation

      Lower costs compared to an intensive roof

      Can be combined with areas that are walkable and can be used by people

      Irrigation necessary in drier periods

      More intensive care

      Higher layer strength

      Higher load on roof

        The correct choice of green roof type is fundamental for successful implementation.

              Documentation for You

              We work with architects and designers who are well‐​versed in green roofs. A design by an authorised person is an integral part of larger buildings and essential for drawing subsidies. Together with our collaborators, we can create a functional green roof that is interesting to look at with a wide range of materials in accordance with the client’s requirements.

              We Arrange Structural Assessment of Your Roof

              For existing structures and new buildings. We will professionally inspect and assess existing roofs in accordance with the applicable standards. We will ascertain the area load‐​bearing capacity and determine whether a green roof can be installed. In the event the load‐​bearing capacity is low, we will propose strengthening it. For new buildings, we offer a roof assessment at all three stages of project documentation.

              Green Roof Maintenance
