Green Roof and Facade Greening with Nonwovens from Freudenberg Performance Materials
Textiles that bring roofs and facades to life.
As cities grow, roof and facade greening can create additional planted areas where ground-level space is limited. Freudenberg Performance Materials provides nonwovens components for green roof systems.
Our products for green roof systems are making a difference
Greening the roofs and facades of buildings: Freudenberg Performance Materials green roof systems allow plants to grow while protecting the buildings.
Multiplying the greenspace in only clean the air and convert CO2 to oxygen, but the vegetation also insulates the buildings, thuslowering their carbon emissions. Less energy is needed to heat or cool the buildings to a comfortable temperature. Also, the nonwovens used in the green roof system are made from recycled PET bottles, thus reducing waste and carbon emissions.
