A green roof brings life to the roof

Whether extensive or intensive roof greening - it brings life to the roof. The word greening implies intensive greenery. However, this is not always desirable. Due to the diversity of habitats in nature, we at VIRIdiVITA therefore speak of roof revitalization. We create the basis for new habitats. Flora and fauna occupy these new habitats according to their specialization.

Revitalization of roofs

brings nature back to the roof

Retention of rainwater

Vegetation | Habitat

Various plant and animal species find new habitats on the basis of water-retaining V premium roof and natural substrate. They make a significant contribution to biodiversity and climate improvement.

Vegetation layer | Substrate

The substrate (intensive, extensive or personal/project-related) is the primary layer for absorbing water for plant roots, but also provides a habitat for soil organisms. Natural and local substrates enable site-specific greening. Layer thickness: variable, but at least cm 5.0

Storage layer

V premium roof, layer thickness cm 7.0

1a Drainage: excess water drains away within the drainage layer on the roof cladding. Layer thickness of the drainage layer: cm 2 .0

1b Water storage: This layer actively absorbs water and stores up to 40 liters per square meter. Water that can be released back into circulation on site. Layer thickness of the storage mat: cm 5.0; can be rooted through
