Green roof system
Design and Build the Perfect Green Roof
Urbanscape® green roof concepts go beyond the scope of contemporary architecture and restore the value of buildings in urban planning. They are not only designed to reintegrate the natural environment into urban spaces but also to address significant challenges such as the urban heat island effect and stormwater management.
Urbanscape® Green Roof System
A complete, lightweight, and easy-to-install system offering high water retention capacity, designed for green roofs on residential, non-residential, and industrial buildings in urban areas.
Components of the Urbanscape® Green Roof System
The Urbanscape® green roof is a comprehensive system consisting of:
- A root barrier membrane,
- A drainage system,
- A growing medium (a unique patented mineral rock wool),
- A vegetation layer.
Benefits of Green Roofs
Green roofs provide numerous advantages for improving these types of buildings, benefiting both users and property owners:
- They contribute to the creation of green corridors, essential for preserving insects and birds in urban environments.
- They enable effective rainwater management by reducing runoff.
- They protect roofing materials from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and rapid temperature fluctuations.
- They reduce the energy needs of buildings (for heating and cooling).
- They add value to the property itself.
The Urbanscape® Green Roof System is the ideal solution for metal-framed buildings. With the growing trend of using rooftops as living and recreational spaces, it will enhance the urban visual experience in many ways.
Urbanscape Greenroof systems can be up to six times lighter than traditional green roofing solutions. With this low weight, it is now possible to green buildings that were previously considered to lack sufficient load-bearing capacity, particularly lightweight metal constructions. They are also much thinner without compromising performance, as Urbanscape® Green Roll growing media can hold up to 3 to 4 times more water per volume than conventional green roof substrates.
