Innovative Green Roofs From Optigrun

With 50 years’ experience, Optigrun is the leading roof greening specialist in Europe.

With our green roof solutions and products, dedicated customer service and technical expertise, we strive to make cities greener, improve biodiversity and have a positive impact on sustainability.

As well as standard green roof build ups, Optigrun provide a wide range of systems to suit even the most complex project requirements. 

PITCHED GREEN ROOF

Sloped Green Roofs require special attention right from the initial planning phase. Roof pitch, roof design, roof structures, loading and the required shear resistance measures all need to be adjusted for the desired vegetation.

Optigrun offer a variety of specialised green roof systems specifically designed for pitched roofs. Our anti slip systems can be used on pitches up to 45 degrees.

SOLAR GREEN ROOF

The combination of photovoltaics and a green roof on Solar Green Roofs brings together many advantages:

Evaporative cooling of vegetation leads to an increase in the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. At the same time, the green roof makes an important contribution to preserving the natural water balance and increasing biodiversity.

The load-supported solar mounting frames from Optigrün are fixed in position and protected from wind suction by the weight of the green roof structure. No roof penetration is necessary for the installation.

BLUE ROOF – WATER RETENTION

The issues of water attenuation and SUDS are now an important consideration for many new build projects as well as some refurbishments.

Green roofs are already known for their ability to attenuate water, but this can now be enhanced with blue roof technology.

The key to a successful Blue Roof is design, both in terms of the roof construction and the drainage outflow parameters for the site. Optigrun offers professional planning support and will prepare the necessary calculations for your construction project.
