This green roof at the new BMW service center in Brno, Czech Republic, got a snowy start. Installation of the Sempergreen vegetation blankets took place in the middle of winter (view the installation video below). This however did not pose a problem for the quality of the plants. Because the Sedum mats are pre-grown, they can withstand the most extreme weather conditions. This is also evident from the photos and video of the following summer; the green roof is fresh green and grows and flowers abundantly.
Green roof installation in only 7 days
Installation of the 1.435 sqm measuring green roof only took 7 days. Flat roofs are ideal for applying a green roof. The system structure for a flat, water-retaining green roof consists of a drainage layer with filter fleece, extensive roof garden substrate, and a vegetation blanket. Because the Sedum blankets are pre-grown, they are very easy to roll out, resulting in an direct-green result. The Sedum-mix blankets are planted with six to eight different types of Sedum and always boasts at least 95% coverage on delivery.
