Greening pitched roofs was once difficult and costly. Our modular system for roofs with slope angle of 20-60° changes that. The existing roof tile can be simply replaced by the greened one, and due to the low weight of the modules, there is hardly any additional weight on the roof structure. The intelligent honeycomb design of the tile with a 30% glass fibre provides stability. Thus, a roof covered by our system provides service lifetime and protection comparable to conventional tiled roof.
