SLOPES FROM 0 TO 45 DEGREES

Engineered for Flat and Steep Pitched Roofs

Sempergreen engineered solutions accommodate flat 0° surfaces up to steep 45° pitches, employing shear-barrier grids and perimeter profiles to keep blankets anchored in heavy wind conditions.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT & MEMBRANE PRESERVATION

40+ Year Membrane Protection and 70-90% Stormwater Detention

Sedum blankets capture up to 90% of summer precipitation, discharging water gradually through natural transpiration. The blanket serves as a permanent physical buffer, protecting waterproofing membranes against hail, UV degradation, and thermal shock.

System Layer Anatomy

Sempergreen classic 4-layer engineering safeguards the structural membrane and promotes resilient plant growth.

Layer 01

Root Barrier & Protection Fleece

Specialized puncture-resistant membrane shielding underlying waterproofing layers from root penetration and abrasion.

Layer 02

Drainage and Storage Reservoir

Dimpled retention panels holding essential moisture during dry spells while channeling surplus rainfall quickly to roof drains.

Layer 03

Engineered Mineral Substrate

Lightweight, fire-resistant mineral growing medium providing nutrient-rich root support without excess deadweight.

Layer 04

Pre-Cultivated Sedum Blanket

Mature vegetation blanket featuring 6 to 8 sedum varieties acclimatized to northern winter cold down to -30 °C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guidance on installation, weight loads, and long term durability.

Sempergreen blankets comprise 6 to 8 alpine and cold-hardened sedum varieties acclimatized to survive temperatures down to -30 °C, snowpack loads, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Integrated drainage matrices discharge snowmelt immediately, preventing surface ice formation.
Specialized lightweight green roof systems weigh 45 to 55 kg/m² at full 100% water saturation, allowing direct installation on standard timber or metal deck structures without reinforcement. Standard multi-layer assemblies weigh 75 to 85 kg/m².
The vegetation and mineral substrate shield underlying bitumen or PVC membranes from direct ultraviolet radiation, temperature shocks, and mechanical weathering. This preserves membrane elasticity and extends roof service life to 40-50+ years.
Extensive sedum roofs are low-maintenance ecosystems requiring inspection only 1 or 2 times annually (spring and autumn). Maintenance involves clearing debris from drainage outlets, removing airborne weed seedlings, and applying slow-release organic sedum fertilizer.
