Rooftiles™

With VertiScape, facades can easily be transformed into beautiful, climate-adaptive structures. Respyre's wall-cladding allows you to bring a new, sustainable life to existing structures; or let your creativity flow with nature-inclusive wall designs with our prefab options.

Discover the advantages of VertiScape

CO₂ absorption

During the lifetime of VertiScape, the calcium in the facades reacts with CO₂, turning it into calcium carbonate, storing CO₂.

Climate-adaptive

VertisScape houses the perfect conditions for small organisms to grow on its service, growing life all through the cities.

Easy maintenance

The moss walls don't need any footing in the ground as they are directly attached to the walls and can survive without irrigation after the first 12 weeks.

Water retention

The VertiScape façades soak up water as a sponge, reducing water nuisances in cities and allowing its bioreceptivity.

Bioreceptive facades as a sustainable solution

Bioreceptive wall facades are a sustainable form of wall decoration. The product is 90-95% circular, created out of granulate ruble and reactivated cement, providing old landfills with new purposes. Moreover, over the lifetime of the façades, CO₂ will react with the calcium that is inside the granulate matter and be captured as calcium-carbonate, making it a CO₂-negative solution.

How it works

Moss layer

All of this will result in a beautiful layer of moss, creating a city that breathes.

Rhizoids

Instead of roots, mosses have rhizoids; tiny hairs with which they anchor themselves to a surface.

Bio-enhancing gel

The bio-gel allows moss spores to attach to the surface while providing them with nutrients, water, and shelter.

Bioreceptive concrete

A sustainable concrete with enhanced porosity and a textured surface to create to optimal environment for mosses.

Constructive element

The carrying, underlying structure to which the concrete layer can be applied.
