Tough Little Plants

Sedum is the most popular choice for a green roof, and that’s no coincidence. These tough little plants can handle heat, cold, and drought with ease. They don’t ask for much, yet give back a lot: cooler buildings, cleaner air, and a greener view. And let’s be honest, every green roof is better than a grey one.

You can build a Sedum roof in different ways, depending on the roof and the slope. Flat, gently sloping, big or small. There’s always a version that fits. It’s lightweight, easy to maintain, and green all year round. That’s why the Sempergreen Sedum Original Roof is such a favorite, it brings life and color even where space or structure is limited.

Questions about Sedum Roofs

Discover answers to the most common questions here. Is your question not listed? Our experts are happy to assist you personally.

Is a Green Roof Suitable for Any Type of Roof Covering?

Not every roof covering is immediately suitable for a green roof. The covering must be root-resistant and comply with the applicable guidelines. For existing roofs that are not root-resistant, Sempergreen supplies a root barrier foil that can be installed on top of the roof covering.

Is my roof strong enough to support the load?

It depends on your roof’s structural capacity—have a structural engineer verify it. Check the allowable permanent load (dead load) of your roof, then compare it with the saturated system weight. Light-weight systems (≈88 lbs/ft²) suit roofs with limited capacity (e.g., carports or extensions); biodiverse/semi-intensive systems can reach ≈45 lbs/ft². Also confirm a root-resistant waterproofing layer, drainage, slope, wind/snow loads, and safe access for maintenance.

Can I get a subsidy for my green roof?

Yes! More and more states, municipalities, water districts, and other government agencies are providing subsidies to encourage the use of green roofs. Contact your local government’s subsidy desk for more information.

What are the benefits of a green roof?

A green roof offers numerous advantages: it retains water, purifies the air, reduces temperature, saves energy, enhances biodiversity, and extends the lifespan of the roof. Moreover, it improves people’s well-being and boosts the value of buildings.

Can a Green Roof Cause Leaks?

No, a leak is never caused by the green roof itself, but by roof coverings that are not waterproof or not root-resistant. Always check the quality of the roof covering beforehand. If you are unsure about its root resistance, it is recommended to install a root-resistant membrane as extra protection.
