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.

Extensive green roofs for roof revitalization: VIRIdiVITA system

More than half of the world's population now lives in cities, and this figure is rising steadily. This demographic concentration has a direct impact on the environment. VIRIdiVITA helps to reduce these negative effects.

Vegetation | Habitat

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

Vegetation layer | Substrate

The substrate is the primary layer for water absorption and plant roots, but also a habitat for soil organisms. Natural and local substrates enable site-specific greening. Layer thickness: variable, but at least cm 5.0

V premium roof, layer thickness cm 7.0

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

1b Water reservoir: 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 reservoir: cm 5.0; can be rooted through
