Sedum Roof Enhances Comfort and Property Value

In Vic, northwest of Barcelona, an apartment building’s parking roof was transformed with Sempergreen Sedum blankets. The vegetation enhances the view, cools the building in summer, insulates in winter, and extends the roof’s lifespan, combining beauty, comfort, and sustainability.

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.

A natural rooftop oasis

The roof of this apartment building’s parking area in Vic, Spain, has been covered with Sempergreen Sedum blankets. Located 40 miles northwest of Barcelona, Vic experiences cool winters and hot summers. The new green roof not only enhances the view, but also provides cooling in summer and extra insulation during winter.

Natural protection

By covering the roof with Sedum, it is shielded from the elements such as sun, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations, significantly extending the lifespan of the waterproofing. The Sedum plants absorb and reflect sunlight while retaining rainwater within the vegetation, substrate, and drainage layers. Its natural, sustainable appearance, combined with lower energy costs and a longer roof life, increases both comfort and property value.
