Reliable green roofing systems for utilised roof landscapes
In their sum of their positive ecological and economical characteristics, green roofs make a relevant contribution toward achieving future-oriented sustainable architecture. ZinCo provides tried and tested solutions worldwide for all types of green roofing. Our programme extends from extensive green roofing as an ecological protective covering or in conjunction with a photovoltaic system to roof gardens and green roofing of underground car park roofs with pathways or driveways. System-integrated, fall-prevention systems that are installed without the need for roof penetration are also an integral part of our system solutions for greened roofs.

Five star gardens over underground garage
The Le Méridien Oran Hotel & Convention Centre in Oran is a new and spectacular building complex with adjacent gardens and sea-front promenade. Of a total green area of 12,000 m² in the complex, approx. 4,500 m² are above the underground garage. With ZinCo technology, it was possible to landscape this roof area to the same premium specification as those areas that are on firm ground and seamlessly: with palm trees of up to 8 m in height on either side of a meandering pathway, blossoming plant beds and numerous water features and driveways.
Roof gardens on skyscrapers
The Japanese architect, Dr. Kisho Kurokawa, planned Fusionopolis as a “layered city”. Working areas, shopping malls, administrative offices, apartments, restaurants and a fitness centre with swimming pool are all stacked vertically, one on top of the other. Roof gardens play a vital role here, providing a balance between the landscape design and the practical benefits for the inhabitants. Naturally, when creating these “sky gardens” special factors such as wind, drainage and logistics proved to be a particular challenge with the skyscrapers.
