Sustainable and ecological plant substrates at HBC Solution

sustainable and ecological plant substrates

Our plant substrates are used in green roofs, for water storage or to reduce water consumption in breeding plantations.

Why plant substrates?

Plant substrates can store water and drain away excess water. They allow for good drainage so that excess water does not remain on the roof and cause damage. At the same time, they store water, which is available to the plants when needed.

PerliteSplitSmall pebblesQuartz sand

Plant substrates can be formulated to be lighter than traditional soil mixes. This reduces the weight of the roof structure and ensures that the green roof does not exceed the load limits of the building.

ECOLOGY

When building an ecological and sustainable house with eco-products, we focus on the interrelationships between the sub-processes. After all, individual materials do not make ecological construction, it depends much more on the entire construction process.

GREEN ROOFS

A green roof provides a suitable growth medium for the plants on the roof. They contain nutrients, water-holding capacity, and drainage properties that allow plants to thrive and develop.

BREEDING PLANTATIONS

Plant availability depends fundamentally on the extent and size of the soil pores. In them, the water is held against gravity, but can be absorbed by the plant roots. By incorporating the perlite, water consumption is sustainably reduced.

Drainage

Plant substrates can store water and drain away excess water. They allow for good drainage so that excess water does not remain on the roof and cause damage.
