Green Roof Types:
Extensive, Semi-intensive & Intensive Green Roofs
Extensive Green Roof
Low weight. Low Cost. Low Maintenance. The Xero Flor® pre-grown vegetation blanket system is grown outdoors in Canada, guaranteeing a hardy instant green roof right from the start.
Semi-intensive Green Roof
A variety of grasses, herbaceous plants, wild shrubs, and coppices are grown using Xero Flor’s patented vegetation carriers. The depth of the growing medium and maintenance requirement varies on the plant selection.
Intensive Green Roof
A variety of shrubs and coppices, grassed areas and selected trees can be used and require a greater depth of soil making heavy demands on the structure. Regular maintenance is required – watering, fertilizing and weeding. This type of green roofing is typically built for recreational use.
