  • Floradrain FD40 is the ideal drainage layer for Urban Farming
  • Specially designed growing medium ZinCoblend-F provides necessary nutrients for optimal growth.
  • Depth based on the fruits and vegetables you want to grow (200 - 400 mm)

Why Green Roofs?

Greener cities are healthier cities – and ZinCo green roofs can significantly contribute to making cities and buildings more livable by:

  • Improving air quality by absorbing greenhouse gases.
  • Absorbing sunlight, reducing cooling and heating costs for your building.
  • Capturing and helping manage storm water.
  • Reconnecting humans with nature.
