Ready-made sustainable sedum cassette for a green roof

MobiRoof ECO is a ready-to-use green roof system that consists of a plant cassette filled with substrate and 6 to 8 different types of sedum.

The cassettes are easily placed against each other, creating a green roof immediately. MobiRoof ECO is an extensive green roof system suitable for flat roofs and  roofs with a slope angle of up to 10 degrees (20%) and always remains moveable.

Ready-made cassette

The unique lightweight cassette system is planted with different types of sedum plants and filled with a substrate that, in addition of functioning as a growth medium, ensures drainage and water storage. The cassettes can also easily be replaced. This allows for the sedum roof to be designed according to your requirements.

A sustainable green roof for a green future

MobiRoof ECO is a circular green roof system. The cassette is made of recycled material and fully recyclable. This reduces the impact on the environment and reduces waste flow. The cassettes are pre-grown locally with cuttings from our own nursery.

Sedum plants 

The plants improve air quality through CO2 reduction as well as capturing fine particles. UV rays no longer reach the underlying roof, which considerably extends the lifespan of the roofing material. The sedum cassettes also protect the roof against the effects of weather and help store rainwater.

Discover the story behind MobiRoof ECO

In this video, Ivo from the Dutch television programme ‘De Grote Tuinverbouwing’ takes you behind the scenes of the production of our sustainable and high-quality products. See how MobiRoof ECO are grown with care and craftsmanship.

Enhancing biodiversity further

Insects like bees are essential to our biodiversity. They play a crucial role in the pollination of our nature and contribute to the reproduction and development of our flora. The plants and flowers that grow as a result provide food and shelter to animals and humans alike. A professional bee hotel or nesting box provides a safe nesting, resting, and overwintering place. 

The nesting boxes and bee hotels are made in a social workplace using sustainable Dutch Douglas wood. All nesting boxes and bee hotels comply with the guidelines of BIJ 12. These boxes are perfectly suitable for meeting the requirements of the Nature Conservation Act or for use in achieving BREEAM certification, which requires the placement of nesting boxes.The nesting boxes and bee hotels can be placed in or around all outdoor products from Mobilane and are available in various types and sizes. Please refer to the accessories page for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there grants or incentives available for green roofs in the UK?

Yes, several UK local authorities and city councils offer incentives or planning benefits for installing green roofs, particularly as part of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and urban greening strategies. With a water retention capacity of up to 40 litres per m², MobiRoof ECO often meets the technical criteria for these schemes. Requirements vary by location, so it is advisable to check with your local planning authority.

Does a green roof help with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)?

Yes. An extensive green roof system such as MobiRoof ECO retains approximately 20 litres of water per m² in its standard configuration, helping to slow and reduce surface water runoff into drainage systems. This contributes to Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which play an increasingly important role in UK planning and flood management.

Can a green roof help reduce urban heat island effects in UK cities?

Yes. Through evaporative cooling, a green roof lowers roof surface temperatures and helps mitigate the urban heat island effect, particularly in densely built urban areas. The vegetation also provides natural insulation, helping to keep buildings cooler during summer and reducing the need for mechanical cooling.

What load capacity is required for an extensive green roof like MobiRoof ECO?

MobiRoof ECO weighs approximately 58 kg per m² when fully saturated with water and around 38 kg per m² when dry. Before installation, the structural load capacity of the roof should always be assessed and approved by a structural engineer or qualified building professional.

Can a green roof be combined with solar panels?

Yes. Combining a green roof with solar panels is becoming increasingly common. The cooling effect created by the vegetation helps keep the panels at lower operating temperatures, which can improve their efficiency and overall energy performance.
