Roof greening without waiting? Discover herb roll mats!

If you want to create a green oasis, you often need a lot of patience. Not so with rolled herb mats! This type of green roof transforms areas into flowering landscapes in no time at all and offers a multitude of benefits for green roofs, terraces and patios.

Immediate green roofs and biodiversity
Herb roll mats consist of a carefully selected mixture of native wildflowers, herbs and grasses cultivated on natural coir mats. With an area coverage of at least 75 %, they provide immediate greening, suppress weeds and support biodiversity. The flowering plants create valuable habitats for insects, butterflies and other small animals, thus actively contributing to species conservation in urban areas.

Versatile application and easy installation
Herb roll mats are particularly versatile and are suitable for various surfaces:

  • Roof surfaces: Ideal for extensive green roofs, as they are light and easy to handle with a weight of approx. 16-20 kg/m².
  • Terraces and balconies: perfect for transforming unused areas into green relaxation zones.
  • Traffic areas: Greening traffic circles and central reservations, improving the cityscape and offering ecological benefits.
  • Embankments and slopes: Due to their dense planting, the mats act as effective erosion protection.

Laying is extremely simple: the approx. 3-4 cm thick mats are laid on the prepared surface, covered with a little substrate at the transitions and kept moist until the growth phase. The surface is immediately functional and ready for removal.

Easy to clean and sustainable
Minimal maintenance: An extensive green roof with rolled herb mats only requires one or two inspections per year to remove unwanted growth.
Sustainability: The carrier material is made of biodegradable coconut, a renewable raw material.

The ideal greening solution
Herb roll mats are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to create a green oasis quickly and easily. They offer immediate greening, support biodiversity and have numerous ecological benefits. Their easy installation and low maintenance make them an attractive solution for green roofs, terraces and many other areas.

Discover the advantages of this innovative greening solution and enjoy the charm of a flowering landscape in no time!
