What's new
Vertige continues to innovate, as it has since its creation in 2007.
The vegetation mat is lighter than ever, sturdier, and is a clever solution for lightweight or mobile structures, or structures with limited load-bearing capacity.
An even lighter Vertige mat!
A forerunner in ready-to-install self-watering green roofing, we have now developed an even more innovative vegetation mat!
Today our mats are made from natural hemp fibers using a "compression-weave" manufacturing process.
This natural fiber offers astonishing resistance, lightness and flexibility of installation.
It's the ideal element for the development of the sedum plants.
Drip irrigation completes the process, using 2 hoses attached to a water feed line, controlled by an electromagnetic valve and an electronic programmer, for automatic watering.
Once installed, the Vertige process only weighs 25-30kg/m2 (55-65 lbs/sq. yd.) when saturated: a revolution for structures with limited load-bearing capacity!
Over time, the hemp mat and the sedum mat become one lightweight and flexible mat, that can be installed even on sloped roofs (up to 30°).
An innovation adapted to new markets!
Thanks to its low weight and ease of set-up, this new green-roofing process can be installed on roofs with a limited load-bearing capacity and is particularly adapted to light structures.
Vertige is embarking on the conquest of new markets such as mobile homes, bungalows, modular constructions or other industrial buildings requiring a minimum load, as well as hypermarkets, airports, hospitals, etc. These sites, completely exposed to sun and high heat, can benefit, with the installation of green roofs, from a reduction of the interior temperature thanks to the evapo-transpiration of the plants; this reduction of temperature can reach 7 to 10°C (around 10-20° F). This can, in turn, lead to significant savings on air conditioning costs.
