With 50 years’ experience, Optigrun is the leading roof greening specialist in Europe.
With our green roof solutions and products, dedicated customer service and technical expertise, we strive to make cities greener, improve biodiversity and have a positive impact on sustainability.
As well as standard green roof build ups, Optigrun provide a wide range of systems to suit even the most complex project requirements.
BIOSOLAR ROOFS
There are many advantages to combining photovoltaics and a green roof:
Evaporative cooling of vegetation leads to an increase in the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. At the same time, the green roof makes an important contribution to preserving the natural water balance and increasing biodiversity.
The load-supported solar mounting frames from Optigrun are fixed in position and protected from wind suction by the weight of the green roof structure. No roof penetration is necessary for the installation.
PITCHED GREEN ROOFS
Sloped green roofs require special attention right from the initial planning phase. Roof pitch, roof design, roof structures, loading and the required shear resistance measures all need to be adjusted for the desired vegetation.
Optigrun offer a variety of specialised green roof systems specifically designed for pitched roofs. Our anti slip systems can be used on pitches up to 45 degrees.
The issues of water attenuation and SUDS are now an important consideration for many building projects.
Green roofs are already known for their ability to attenuate water, but this can now be enhanced with blue roof technology.
The key to a successful blue roof is design, both in terms of the roof construction and the drainage outflow parameters for the site. Optigrun offers professional planning support and will prepare the necessary calculations for your construction project.
