There are many reasons to like the Secalflor green roof system:

One is it's simplicity : it's modular structure based on 2 panels, 1/2 sq m each, on top of each other, and requiring only a 2" soil cover, means an ease of application that is attainable by any normal person, and resulting in cost savings in handling/ specialized labor/equipment costs, whether we're talking about a hospital roof, or a carport.

Another is it's light weight : At 35kg/sq m when wet, it's amongst the lightest extensive green roof systems anywhere, meaning no structural re-enforcement required to existing roofs. The light, dry weight of each panel - 1 kg/2.5 lbs - means ease of handling and application.

Perhaps the best reason to think Secalflor, is the high water retention capacity of the Secalflor green roof system - 30 litres/sq m - which means that the plant cover has a water supply in between rainfalls, thus becoming self-sustaining for almost all climates. The same water-retention capabilities also result in a hard roof fire rated designation, meaning lower insurance premiums. Finally, it's all natural! There are no re-cycled, man-made materials used : each Secalflor growing panel, the key component of the system, is made from natural grain fibres, and is 100% bio-degradable.[more...]
