Product description

SOPREMA’s Vegetated (Green) Roofing Systems offer a comprehensive solution for transforming traditional rooftops into eco-active spaces that promote biodiversity, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve energy efficiency. These modular green roof systems integrate waterproofing, drainage, soil substrate, and vegetation layers to create sustainable and environmentally friendly roofing solutions.

The innovative design of SOPREMA’s vegetated roofing systems not only enhances urban biodiversity but also contributes to reducing stormwater runoff, improving thermal insulation, and extending the lifespan of roofs. By utilizing recycled or renewable materials, these systems support sustainable land use practices and help combat the urban heat island effect by promoting urban cooling.

One of the key features of SOPREMA’s green roofing systems is their compatibility with various roof structures and climates, making them versatile and adaptable to different environments. The low-maintenance design and use of native-species plant palettes further enhance the eco-friendliness of these systems.

Additionally, SOPREMA’s vegetated roofing systems can be combined with other environmental technologies such as photovoltaic panels, rainwater harvesting systems, or blue roofs to maximize their environmental benefits and further reduce the ecological footprint of buildings.

Whether installed on public buildings, commercial properties, or infrastructure projects like parking decks or tram stations, SOPREMA’s green roofing systems offer a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing solution that aligns with global climate targets and certifications like LEED, BREEAM, and HQE.
