Roof Gardens, Vertical Gardens

Roof and vertical gardening is becoming more attractive in South Africa for the following reasons:

• Energy costs are rising
• A "green" revolution is occurring in both public and private sectors
• New legislation is being adopted in terms of energy efficiency and responsible water usage at all levels of Government
• Meets mandate of "Triple-Bottom Line"

Incorporating a roof and/or vertical gardens to your building has the following benefits:

• Provides a cooling and insulating effect on the building - this translates into substantial energy savings. Reduces your carbon footprint.
• Transforms a previously unused space into a usable habitat for people and nature. Helps make the city greener, reduces the urban heat island effect and manages runoff
• Contributes visually and aesthetically to the built environment - improves quality of life
• Reduces UV damage to waterproofing and increases building lifespan

Both our key products, Leca® and Supaflora®, have been used for decades internationally as the lightweight substrate of choice.
