Riverclack® Green

Light with a shallow stratigraphy, which includes various kinds of sedum, grass and succulent plants or turf.

Extensive Green Roofs are an eco-friendly alternative to conventional surface protection. However, it isn't designed for public access purposes or for recreational time. Maintenance requires 1-2 yearly inspections. It rarely needs irrigation in the European continental climate.

Imagine having the opportunity of growing trees and shrubs in deep soil, resulting in the creation of a traditional garden on a roof.

After careful structural planning, we at Riverclack® can transform this imaginary space into a real project that you will have the chance to see first-hand. We are able to set up areas which can range from a public garden to a vast, accessible and sustainable park.

Opting for a Riverclack® green roof not only adds aesthetic value to your project but also helps achieve the essential requirements to earn various credits among the LEED® Certification Program for Sustainable Buildings.

For example, a green roof improves air quality and the micro-climate found in the underlying building interiors, a fundamental aspect which would be included in the “Internal Environmental Quality" LEED® category.

Combining natural elements and architecture in an aesthetically pleasing way is yet included in the "Innovation in Design" LEED® category.

Installing a green roof is the bold affirmation of a commitment towards the sustainable future of our cities. As such, it constitutes the synergy between design, innovation and bioarchitecture. reflecting the modern vision of the contemporary construction industry.

The lack of green areas in urban areas increases heat, such phenomenon is known as “Heat Island” effect.

A high building density environment absorbs much more solar light compared to green areas, leading to heat build up. When heat gets finally dispersed, it causes an increase in air temperature in the surrounding environment, as a result, more electricity consumption for air conditioning is yet another related consequence.

For every green roof, quality waterproofing is curcial. The exclusive Riverclack® drainage channel eliminates any water infiltration risk inside your building.

Our aluminum offers excellent long-lasting protection against root and moisture penetration, ensuring a return on investment both financially and environmentally.

The exceptional structural performance of Riverclack® enables the long-term longevity of both extensive and intensive green roofs, of which loads must be taken in consideration.

Aluminum is employed for Riverclack® green roofs, 100% recyclable with a low “life cycle cost", it's the ideal material for anyone pursuing sustainable architecture projects.
