“Pitched Green Roof” with Floradrain®, Floraset® and Georaster®

Bodegas Ramón Bilbao in Haro, a winery steeped in tradition and innovation, is located in the ancient wine-growing region of Rioja Alta in the north east of Spain. Apart from its world-renowned exclusive wines, it now has a green roof that is just as exclusive. By using three different ZinCo systems, a perfectly fitting green roof was installed on the barrel roof of the new winery, ranging from flat to steep-pitched, and covering an area of about 2,000 m² and arched up to 35°. The flowering Mediterranean vegetation, secure and durable, has taken root, picturesquely integrating the prestigious building into the surrounding landscape.

  • Pitched green roof with white and purple flowers
    The roof was provided with additional drip irrigation for longer periods of drought.
  • Vines in front of a pitched green roof
    The green roof and the vines in front create an appealing and unique appearance.
  • Pitched green roof with mediterranean vegetation
    The roof of the entrance building is planted with typical vegetation of this region.
  • Pitched green roof with irrigation pipes
    Distinct boundaries are created by grouping together individual plant species.
  • Vines in front of pitched green roof
    The winery with its green roof is perfectly embedded into the surrounding grapevines and the olive trees.
  • Pitched green roof with irrigation pipes, purple and pink flowers
    Depending on the flowering season, the plants create different spots of colour on the roof.
  • Floraset® FS 75 and Georaster® are being installed
    In the steep pitched roof area up to 35°, the Georaster® elements create the required stable combination for anchoring the substrate and vegetation.
