GREEN ROOFS
Transforming rooftops into living spaces.
Greening available rooftop spaces to create new areas for nature, provide cooling and contribute to water management.
A green roof is much more than a layer of vegetation. It combines drainage, filtration, growing substrate and vegetation to recreate the conditions needed for living soil to thrive.
The objective: to give soil, water and plants their place on built surfaces.
SUBSTRATE
A suitable soil depth (minimum 30 cm) provides enough space for roots and plants to develop.
WATER
Planned water storage and integrated irrigation deliver water as close as possible to the plants’ needs.
VEGETATION
Meadows, perennials and plant mixes create a living cover tailored to each project.
ADAPTABILITY
A solution suitable for both new construction and renovation projects, depending on the characteristics of the building.
COOLING
Helps reduce surface temperatures and improve the building’s thermal comfort.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Retains part of the rainfall and slows its discharge into drainage systems.
ACOUSTIC COMFORT
Vegetation and substrate help reduce noise pollution.
BIODIVERSITY
Creates new vegetated areas and encourages biodiversity to return to built environments.
PLANNING A GREEN ROOF PROJECT ?
Every roof is different. Green Sentinel works with you to define a solution tailored to the building, its technical constraints and your greening objectives.
From design through to implementation, we integrate the selection of the greening system, substrate, plant palette and irrigation management.
