Elementary School in Plouay Flourishes with Green Roof

Sempergreen supplied 2917 ft² of Sedum-mix blankets for the construction of a green roof on a shallow pitched roof of an elementary school in Plouay in Brittany, France. Because the vegetation blankets are easy to cut to size, they fit perfectly around the Velux skylights. The Sempergreen vegetation blankets are always 95% overgrown upon delivery, which immediately gives a beautiful green result.

Multifunctional Surface

Every component of the roof plays a role. Rainwater is buffered, and nature is afforded space to flourish.

Climate adaptive design

The roof stores water during heavy rainfall and helps cool the surroundings during summer heat.

Biodiversity in the Built Environment

A diverse planting plan attracts pollinators, birds, and native insects. This turns the roof into a thriving ecosystem.

Varied planting contributes to biodiversity

The green roof has been installed with Sempergreen Sedum-mix blankets, which have been supplemented with additional herbal plugs. Because of this varied plant composition, the roof offers a pleasant place to stay for bees, butterflies, birds, and insects. In this way, the green roof contributes to local biodiversity. Moreover, the plants give a colorful and lively appearance, which is beautifully visible from the surrounding buildings thanks to the slope of the roof.
