Extensive Green Roof “Meadow Scents” – with Sufficient Distance to Standing Water on 0°-Roofs On 0°-roofs where deeper puddles might remain the standard extensive system build-up needs to be modified to avoid the danger of drowning the plants. By installing higher Floraset® elements (50 or 75 mm) the necessary distance to the water level is ensured. The green roof build-up will be somewhat higher but not heavier as these elements are made of extruded polystyrene ha...

Biodiverse Green Roofs – Providing Substitute Habitats for Flora and Fauna In areas where nature has been destroyed by construction works and the ground is sealed, green roofs can partially compensate for lost green areas and can provide replacement habitats for flora and fauna. Above all, natural, low-maintenance extensive green roofs are important refuges for flora and fauna. Wild bees, butterflies and ground beetles find food and shelter there. However, the development of biodiversity...

Pitched Green Roofs with Slopes up to 25° – How to Prevent Erosion and Transfer Shear Forces Safely According to general regulations for roofs with waterproofing, flat roofs should have a fall of at least 2 %. Pitched roofs start with a slope of 10° (18 %). From 10° on, the green roof system build-up differs significantly from system build-ups below 10°. Shear forces increase with the roof slope and have to be transferred into stable beams. The substrate layer has to be pr...

Maximum Evaporation Capacity with an “Urban Climate Roof” The sealing of former planted areas continues unabated. This has a considerable impact on the heating up of towns and cities. As a result, global radiation is used in a totally different way. On sealed surfaces, it can no longer be used as an engine for plant growth and can therefore hardly be used for cooling evaporation. This means that the considerable rise in thermal radiation is heating up urban centres and the resulting...

Green roofs The purpose of a roof is that it protects us from wind and weather. A conventional roof perfectly meets these requirements, but it can also be much more than just protection. As a green roof for example! With a green roof, the covering mainly consists of living plants. Actually the name 'green roof' is a bit misleading. After all, green roof does not have to be that green. The color depends on the choice of plant, the seasons and the weather conditi...
