Tough little plants
Sedum is the most popular choice for a green roof, and that’s no coincidence. These tough little plants can handle heat, cold and drought with ease. They don’t ask for much, yet give back a lot: cooler buildings, cleaner air and a greener view. And let’s be honest, every green roof is better than a grey one.
You can build a Sedum roof in different ways, depending on the roof and the slope. Flat, gently sloping, big or small. There’s always a version that fits. It’s lightweight, easy to maintain, and green all year round. That’s why the Sempergreen Sedum roofs is such a favourite, it brings life and colour even where space or structure is limited.

Biodiversity Package
Want to take biodiversity on your Sedum roof to the next level? Expand your green roof with the Sempergreen Biodiversity Package. Developed in collaboration with the Dutch Butterfly Conservation, this package includes carefully selected elements that enhance the habitat for birds, bees, butterflies and other insects. It provides nesting sites, shelter and food sources, allowing the complete life cycle of various species to take place right on your Sedum roof.
The main function of a Sedum roof is to provide food. But insects also need a habitat where they can breed and find shelter. It’s becoming harder for them to find year-round food sources. A Sedum roof helps, but adding a Biodiversity Package turns it into a permanent habitat.

Smarter together: Sempergreen × FALK
Circular thinking meets green innovation. Sempergreen and FALK Bouwsystemen, both Dutch market leaders in their fields, joined forces to develop future-proof roof and façade systems that combine insulation with vegetation. FALK’s circular sandwich panels form the perfect base for Sempergreen’s green roofs and living walls, creating building envelopes that are both energy-efficient and nature-inclusive. Together we’re translating circular ambitions into practical solutions. A collaboration that makes it easier than ever to design buildings that are green, durable and ready for 2050.

Questions about Sedum roofs
Discover answers to the most common questions here. Is your question not listed? Our experts are happy to help you personally.
Is a green roof suitable for any type of roof covering?
Not every roof covering is immediately suitable for a green roof. The covering must be root-resistant and comply with the applicable guidelines. For existing roofs that are not root-resistant, Sempergreen supplies a root barrier foil that can be installed on top of the roof covering.
Is my roof strong enough to support the load?
It depends on your roof’s structural capacity—have a structural engineer verify it. Check the allowable permanent load (dead load) of your roof, then compare it with the saturated system weight. Light-weight systems (≈40 kg/m²) suit roofs with limited capacity (e.g., carports or extensions); biodiverse/semi-intensive systems can reach ≈225 kg/m². Also confirm a root-resistant waterproofing layer, drainage, slope, wind/snow loads, and safe access for maintenance.
Can I get a subsidy for my green roof?
Yes! More and more provinces, municipalities, water boards and other government agencies are providing subsidies to encourage the use of green roofs. Contact your local government’s subsidy desk for more information.
What are the benefits of a green roof?
A green roof offers many benefits: it retains water, purifies the air, reduces temperature, saves energy, increases biodiversity, and extends the lifespan of the roof. In addition, it improves people’s well-being and enhances the value of buildings.
Can a green roof cause leaks?
No, a leakage is never caused by the green roof itself, but by roof coverings that are not waterproof or not root-resistant. Always check the quality of the roof covering beforehand. If you are unsure about its root resistance, it is recommended to install a root-resistant membrane as extra protection.
