Green house roof

An old Swedish barn has been transformed into a gorgeous low-impact greenhouse where people and plants thrive together in harmony. Located on the edge of Lake Vättern in southern Sweden, the Uppgrenna Nature House is a greenhouse, spa, and conference building that grows food sustainably with a closed-loop water recycling system.

Our highly sophisticated green roofing system with Georaster® elements even enables the installation of steep pitched roofs up to 35°.

The comparison of two solar cladded roofs in Sydney, Australia, one bare beneath its panels and the other adorned with native grasses and plants, has found the panels on the green roof were, on average, 3.63% more efficient, producing an average daily output 13% greater than the conventional roof. The improvements are believed to stem from the lower temperatures on the green roof, thanks to its plants – which also provided a plethora of additional benefits.

This green roof on a home in London, has a series of terraced stainless steel planters filled with over 800 plants.
