Ever considered a sedum roof?

Smart use of green

A sedum roof (also called a green roof) is a roof covered with succulents from the Sedum genus. Installing such a roof offers several ecological, financial, and aesthetic benefits.

Benefits for the immediate environment


1. Improved drainage: Sedum plants and their substrate retain rainwater, reducing the burden on the sewer system during heavy rainfall. 2. Air purification: Green roofs filter particulate matter from the air and absorb CO₂, contributing to a cleaner living environment. 3. Heat and sound insulation: A sedum roof provides additional insulation: it keeps heat inside better in winter and out in summer. It also dampens external noise. 4. Environmental cooling: Green roofs reduce the urban heat island effect by reflecting sunlight and promoting evaporation.

Short and long term benefits

1. Longer roof lifespan. The vegetation protects the roof covering from UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and wear and tear. This often extends the roof's lifespan by two to three times. 2. Lower energy costs. Thanks to the insulating properties, you use less energy for heating and cooling. 3. Subsidies available. Many municipalities and provinces offer subsidies for the installation of green roofs. This can cover a significant portion of the costs.

Aesthetic and ecological benefits

1. Attractive appearance: A sedum roof looks much greener and more natural than a regular roof. This increases the building's aesthetic value. 2. Increased biodiversity: It provides food and shelter for insects, butterflies, and birds, especially in urban areas where greenery is scarce.

Practical benefits

1. Low maintenance: Sedum plants are strong, require little care, and are resistant to drought and frost. 2. Lightweight solution: Sedum roofs are lighter than intensive green roofs (with shrubs or trees), meaning they can often be installed on existing roofs without reinforcement.
