Xeroflor®’s innovative urban greening concept was invented in Germany in 1972. Since that time the system continues to improve as new technologies and environmental concerns develop. Xeroflor® is committed to improving the quality of life by bringing engineered living systems into our urban landscapes.
Starting at only 49 kg/m2 (10 psf) at full saturation, Xeroflor® lightweight systems are perfect for retrofits. The thin flexible layers are easily retractable and replaceable, making roof membrane access simple, easy and clean. Low maintenance also means cost savings in the long term.
We incorporate innovative lightweight absorbent materials such as non-woven fleece and hygroscopic mineral wool in Xeroflor® systems to capture rainfall and filter out pollutants, resulting in reduced and cleaner runoff for a better environment.
A selected network of growers offer pre-vegetated Xeroflor mats. These pre-vegetated mats mean instant green and benefits right from the start. They contain mature hardy plants that are heat and drought tolerant, showcasing a colorful display of flowers and foliage year-round.
All components come in roll format that are quick and easy to install. No clips or ties are needed – simply butt the pre- vegetated mats together and the plant roots will join them together naturally via the clever built-in overlap. Plus, system buildups can be customized to meet specific needs.
