Sedum vegetation mats 1.1 Sedum Light vegetation mats Description The Sedum Light vegatation mat contains between 10-12 different species of Sedum. The plants are grown on coconut fibre fabric and special substrate. It represents an economical solution for creating a carpet of vegetation that provides a high degree of coverage immediately after installation. Sedum species develop very well under green roof conditions, resistance and durability are guaranteed due to the properties of the plants. The plants are grown in the plantation in Arad, taking into account the very dry local climatic conditions, so they can be easily transferred to other areas with hot summers, without precipitation. The minimum maintenance depends on the structure of the green roof system; requires fertilizer administration 2-3 times a year. The vegetation blanket can provide a degree of coverage of min. 95% upon delivery and is manufactured in accordance with FLL (German Green Roof Standards). PDF data sheet Advantages The Sedum is a succulent plant that stores water in its leaves, so it is perfectly suited to extremely diverse climatic conditions. Thanks to the rich, mature vegetation, it provides maximum coverage, compared to seedlings or seeding, it does not take several years to achieve the desired effect. The roots of the plants are strongly developed, so they require less care than seedlings. Due to the moderate weight of the plant cover, it can also be installed on buildings with a lower load capacity. Thanks to its thickness of 1 cm, it can be transported at a much lower cost and can be easily handled by a single person. Properties Sedum plants have a relatively low height and are characterized by increased capacity for self-regeneration, they are resistant to drought, sun, wind and frost. The Sedum blanket offers a wide variety of colors and shapes, it contains plants with leaves of various sizes. The flowering period is at the beginning of summer (yellow, pink and white flowers), during the year different shades of green predominate, in hot summer and autumn-winter the leaves take on shades of red, offering an aesthetic change in the appearance of the vegetation. 1.2 Sedum Ready-Mix vegetation mats Description Like the Light model, this type of plant cover also contains 10-12 different sedum species, which are grown on coconut fiber and a special substrate. Its main advantage is immediate coverage and high resistance to extreme climatic conditions. We grow the plants in our plantation in Arad, taking into account the very dry local climate conditions. Its maintenance is low, it only needs to be fertilized a few times a year. The vegetation blanket can provide a degree of coverage of min. 95% upon deliver. PDF data sheet Advantages Provides maximum coverage, compared to seedlings or seed seeding, several years are not required to achieve the desired effect. The roots of the plants are strongly developed and require less care than seedlings. Thanks to the substrate thickness of around 2-4 cm, in the case of lightweight green roofs, it can be placed directly on the water retention layer, without providing an additional substrate layer under the plant cover. 2. Biogazon vegetation mats Description Bioturf is grown and maintained using environmentally friendly practices. Only drought-resistant plants seeds are used, no pesticides and chemical herbicides are used; weeds are eliminated by repeated pruning and manual extraction operations. Bioturf contributes to the promotion of biodiversity and is composed of a combination of turf species and other low-growing vegetation species. It is characterized by resistance to high ambient temperatures and dry periods, has a high rooting power and requires less maintenance. PDF data sheet Advantages Quick installation, immediate creation of a compact green surface, in contrast to the classic lawn, which requires months of maintenance. Contributes to air purification and temperature reduction through evapo-transpiration. Properties Well-developed roots enable quick adaptation. High resistance to moderate traffic. Substrate thickness 1.5-2 cm. 3. Biodivers multispecies vegetation mats Leírás The pre-grown, lightweight mat made up of indigenous wildflowers allows quick and instant establishment of a green roof; combines around 35-40 wildflower species with less than 10% grass species, resulting in a vibrant and dynamic look. The flower seed mix is carefully selected to ensure bloom over an extended period, usually from early spring to fall. This plant variation is particularly attractive to bees and butterflies, thus contributing to increased biodiversity. PDF data sheet Advantages Easy and simple installation for an immediate effect, even on slopes of up to 15o It takes care of the rich ecosystem, promoting biodiversity. It has a positive effect on the environment, as it is made from biodegradable materials. Properties Grown in Romania, adapted to local climate conditions. Biologically degradable substrate 2-3 cm thick. Light weight, about 18-20 kg/m2. The first flowers appear 4-6 weeks after planting.
