Optigrün: Innovation and sustainability in the field of green roofs

The foundation and specialization of Optigrün

Optigrün was founded in 1976 in Krauchenwies, Germany, and is now one of the leading providers of system solutions for green roofs in Europe. The company began with the vision of making urban areas more sustainable and livable. Optigrün offers solutions that not only protect the environment, but also contribute to energy efficiency and improve the microclimate. Thanks to many years of experience and constant innovation, the company has established itself as a reliable partner for architects, developers and urban planners.

Products: Systems for green roofs, rainwater management and protection solutions

Optigrün's portfolio includes a variety of systems that have been specially developed for different requirements. These include extensive and intensive green roofs that are suitable for residential and commercial buildings. The company also offers systems for rainwater retention and infiltration, which help to relieve the burden on the sewer system. Protective and safety components such as fall protection systems are also part of the range. Optigrün's products are characterized by their flexibility, durability and environmentally friendly materials and make a significant contribution to sustainable building design.

Sustainability and research as a core philosophy

Optigrün attaches great importance to sustainability and works continuously to optimize its products and processes. By using recyclable materials and developing innovative technologies, the company makes an important contribution to reducing the ecological footprint in the construction industry. At the same time, Optigrün invests in research and development to create new solutions for green infrastructure and urban living. With its clear focus on quality, innovation and environmental friendliness, Optigrün remains a leading player in the green roof sector.

Green roofs as part of modern urban development

Green roofs are playing an increasingly important role in the sustainable development of urban spaces. Especially in densely built-up cities, green roofs create additional compensation areas that combine ecological, climatic and functional benefits. Optigrün sees green roofs not as an isolated measure, but as part of holistic concepts for buildings and neighborhoods. As a solar green roof, Optigreen offers functional greening. Green roofs help to reduce heat islands, bind fine dust and retain rainwater in a controlled manner. At the same time, new usable and recreational areas are created, for example in the form of roof gardens or communal green areas. Optigreen systems are designed to meet these requirements permanently and safely, both in new builds and in the renovation of existing buildings.

  • Improvement of the urban climate through evaporation and cooling
  • Relief of the sewer system during heavy rainfall events
  • Creation of additional green and recreational areas
  • Promoting biodiversity in urban areas

Spar roof and traffic roof as functional green roof solutions

In addition to classic extensive and intensive green roofs, functionally designed roof systems play a central role, especially where areas are used economically or are subject to permanent loads. The so-called “economy roof” is primarily aimed at projects where low installation heights, reduced weight and efficient use of materials are crucial. It is particularly suitable for large roof areas in commercial and industrial construction, where ecological impact and cost control need to be combined. Traffic roofs, on the other hand, are designed for much higher requirements. They are used where roof areas are not only greened, but also regularly walked on, driven on or used as usable space. These include parking decks, fire department access roads, delivery zones or roof terraces with intensive use. The system structure ensures that greening, load-bearing capacity and durability are maintained even under high mechanical loads.

  • Lightweight roof systems with reduced construction height
  • Traffic roofs for roof surfaces that can be walked and driven on
  • Combination of greening, load transfer and surface protection
  • Possible applications in residential, commercial and infrastructure projects

System solutions for planning, implementation and operation

A central approach of Optigrün is the systematic support of projects over their entire life cycle. In addition to the actual green roof systems, the company provides comprehensive planning aids, technical details and practical solutions for different structural conditions. The product range is therefore aimed not only at contractors, but also specifically at planners and local authorities. The modular systems enable precise adaptation to structural specifications, usage requirements and climatic conditions. Maintenance and long-term operation are also taken into account during the design phase in order to ensure the long-term functionality of the greenery.

  • Modular system structures for different roof types
  • Technical support for architects and specialist planners
  • Integration of irrigation and retention solutions
  • Long-term operational reliability thanks to tested components
