Mobiroof is an instant extensive Green Roofing system. It is especially suitable for roofs that are not able to support a full roof garden.
Mobiroof is a clip together cassette system that can be easily laid onto the surface of a roof. Almost instantly a closed fully grown in area is created with insulation properties. In the summer the temperature in the building will be markedly less because the sun will not heat the roof anymore, but will encourage the plants in the Mobiroof cassettes to grow instead.
Beside insulation properties, a Green Roof has a number of benefits not found with a conventional roof. The planting improves air quality by CO2 reduction and also captures fine particles. UV radiation no longer reaches the roofing materials thereby considerably extending the life of the roof.
Mobiroof can be applied to flat roofs and roofs with a slope up to 20 degrees. Above 20 degrees, additional measures must be taken to secure the cassettes. Because of the weight and dimensions of the cassettes, the system can very easily be applied to garages, dormers, extensions and sun houses.
The Mobiroof cassettes are cultivated with several types of Sedum (including album, spurium, acre and hispanicum) and Mesembrianthemum cooperi. The cassette is filled with water retaining stones.
