Building green roofs for sustainable and nature-inclusive roofs

Realization of roof greenery complete worry free

Installing a green roof requires specialist knowledge of ecology, building technology and water management. Unitura takes care of the entire process for green roofs: from design and development to installation on the roof.

We realize nature-inclusive roofs with high ecological value and a long lifespan. Our solutions are applied to housing construction, utility construction and area developments where sustainability, biodiversity and climate adaptation are central. By carrying out the entire process in-house, Unitura can work efficiently and we guarantee a high-quality result.

Green roofs as microhabitats

Unitura develops green roofs that function as full-fledged microhabitats for flora and fauna. The roofs are designed to encourage biodiversity while providing a sustainable and robust roof structure. From our goal of maximum ecological value and maximum sustainability, we design and build roofs that contribute to nature in urban areas.

Green roofs offer, among other things:

  • Food for insects and pollinators
  • Hiding places for breeding birds
  • Variation in vegetation and microclimates

Depending on the project, the green roof can be constructed with:

  • Sedum planting
  • Herbs and flowering vegetation
  • Grasses and natural vegetation structures

This variation creates a biodiverse green roof that can play an important role in urban ecosystems. Complete peace of mind with the green roof installation by Unitura

Designing nature-inclusive green roofs

In many construction projects, the interpretation of nature-inclusive measures remains unclear until late in the design or tendering process. Unitura can connect at an early stage to design a green roof in concrete terms and integrate it properly into the building plan.

Within Unitura, ecologists, designers and planners work together to create a design that is both technically feasible and offers maximum ecological value. This involves looking at the structure of the green roof, water buffering, vegetation and the constructive possibilities of the roof. This creates a well-considered green roof that contributes to biodiversity, climate adaptation and a sustainable building environment.

Assembly of the green roof

Unitura takes care of the entire process from design to installation of the green roof. We use our own specially trained installation teams for the work. Because design and construction take place within a single organization, we can plan and execute the installation efficiently. The design already takes into account:

  • Logistics on the roof
  • Assembly sequence
  • Prefabricated components
  • Installation connections

This ensures fast and reliable implementation at the construction site. The result is a sustainable green roof that contributes to biodiversity, climate adaptation and longer roofing life.

Products for the Green Roof

For the installation of green roofs, Unitura uses its own developed systems that focus on durability, easy installation and high ecological value. Depending on the construction of the roof and the project requirements, different solutions can be chosen.

EcoRoof Cassette
The EcoRoof Cassette is a modular system for green roofs that combines vegetation, substrate and drainage in a cassette structure. This system makes it possible to realize green roofs quickly and efficiently while creating a stable base for vegetation. The cassette construction ensures even distribution of water and substrate and makes maintenance and replacement easy.

EcoRoof Cassette Light
The EcoRoof Cassette Light was developed for situations where a lower roof load is desired. Due to the lighter system, this type of green roof can also be used on roofs with limited load-bearing capacity. Despite the lower weight, the functionality of the green roof is maintained and a sustainable and green roof solution is created.

Advantages of green roofs

A green roof offers several benefits for both the building and the environment. In addition to improving the appearance of a building, a green roof contributes to biodiversity, climate adaptation and the sustainability of the roof. Applying vegetation to the roof creates an additional green layer in the built environment that provides space for plants and animals.

In addition, a green roof helps capture and delay rainwater and contributes to cooling of the building and its immediate surroundings. As a result, green roofs are increasingly used in new construction and renovation projects, where sustainability, water management and nature-inclusive construction play an important role.

Strengthening biodiversity

A green roof provides valuable habitat for insects, birds and other species in urban areas. Applying different vegetation and nature-inclusive elements creates a microhabitat that contributes to biodiversity in the immediate area.

Water storage and climate adaptation

Green roofs help capture and temporarily retain rainwater. This reduces the load on the sewer system and can reduce flooding during heavy showers. In addition, the vegetation layer contributes to cooling the roof and its immediate surroundings.

Longer life of the roof

The vegetation layer protects the roofing from UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and other weather influences. This keeps the roofing material intact longer and can significantly extend the life of the roof.
