Nature Impact: A Revolutionary Green Solution
Nature Impact is the future solution for green roofs and plant walls. The vision is simple yet profound – creating beautiful and durable green surfaces that shorten the path to climate-friendly and green construction. The modern solutions provided by Nature Impact are designed to be easy to install on all types of buildings – whether during renovations or new construction. With specially developed systems and optimized plant mixes, builders, architects, and roofers can build green in a modern and future-proof way. The concept-based system solution in green roofs and plant walls has its roots in years of expertise, as Nature Impact is founded by the Larsen family, who have been part of the gardening and horticulture industry for five generations. The high standards in quality are reflected in every delivery, carefully selected by a chief gardener before packaging and project delivery… ensuring that only the best quality is delivered under the Nature Impact brand.
Main Benefits and Key Facts
- Efficient Installation: One person can lay 25-40 m² of a sedum roof per hour.
- Innovative Tray System: The unique tray system provides drainage, growth media, and plants in one package, enabling the roof to be laid out significantly faster than traditional methods.
- Climate Friendly: Sedum roofs absorb large amounts of rainwater, helping with local drainage and mitigating the effects of climate change.
- Urban Impact: Green roofs lower urban temperatures, help improve air quality by absorbing small particles, and provide a pantry for the city’s insects.
- Custom Solutions: Options include Nature Roof with a lush and varied surface that follows the seasons, an Evergreen Roof that maintains a consistent look, and custom made roofs that are limited only by imagination and system design.
Innovative Green Roofs and Plant Walls
The product range starts with green roofs that come in several distinctive profiles. The Nature Roof provides a lush, varied surface that changes with the seasons, while the Evergreen Roof offers a homogeneous green roof that remains constant throughout the year. For those wanting something truly unique, the Custom Made Roof shows that only the imagination (and the system) sets the limits. Complementary profiles and accessories give every green roof a professional and refined finish. In addition to rooftops, Nature Impact offers plant walls that transform both indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor plant walls bring nature into the interior environment, creating a living, breathing focal point, whereas outdoor plant walls help ensure that people thrive in spaces enriched with natural beauty… each solution crafted with care and innovation.
Sustainable Construction in a Changing Climate
Green sedum roofs from Nature Impact are more than just aesthetically appealing; they represent a climate-friendly and future-proof roofing option for modern construction. These roofs absorb large quantities of rainwater, thereby assisting in the local drainage of precipitation – a feature that becomes ever more important as developers adjust to a changing climate. Urban environments benefit as these green roofs help the city to breathe, reducing the heat island effect by covering conventional black tar roofs with a cooling, natural alternative. Moreover, they provide habitats for insects and contribute positively to urban biodiversity, all while absorbing small particulate matter and thus improving air quality. It truly is a win-win situation for both builders and the environment.
State-of-the-Art Installation Process
One of the most impressive aspects of Nature Impact’s system is the ease of installation… A single person, armed with the innovative tray system, can install between 25-40 m² of sedum roof per hour. Upon arrival at the construction site, every tray is ready for direct installation on the roof membrane, eliminating any need for complicated on-site adjustments. The trays contain drainage, growth media, and the pre-selected sedum plants – all carefully grown from mother plants specially chosen for the Nordic climate. Thanks to this system, green roofs become both a rapid and reliable addition to modern buildings, making sustainable construction accessible and cost-effective.
Expert Green Roofs and Environmental Technology
Nature Impact’s approach is deeply rooted in blending traditional horticulture expertise with modern building technologies. The sedum is grown from mother plants that are specifically selected to thrive in the changing Nordic climate, ensuring a beautiful green roof year after year. A dedicated chief gardener screens the right sedum batches for every project, preparing them meticulously for delivery and installation. This careful attention to quality has set Nature Impact apart as one of the most innovative companies in developing concept-based solutions for green roofs and plant walls. The result is a product that not only enhances the aesthetic value of a building but also contributes significantly to environmental sustainability.
