ZinCo has offered proven systems solutions for the greening of pitched roofs since 1990 and is able to give support in the planning of pitched green roofs from calculating loads to specifying number and location of support brackets and shear barriers required.

To meet the requirement of a significant reduction of irrigation and maintenance needs for Barbican Beech Gardens, the replanting concept provided naturalistic meadow-like flower-rich vegetation being, however, robust and drought-resistant enough to tolerate low water availability and requiring only little maintenance throughout the year. ZinCo provided the necessary green roof system for this ambitious landscape scheme.

Thanks to ZinCo green roof technology a total 72,000 m² of extensive and intensive roof gardens bring thriving nature and breathing, relaxing places into the architecture of Zorlu Center in Istanbul.

The experienced green roof system manufacturer, ZinCo, provided the technical basis for the design concepts in terms of plants, walkways and leisure areas of the High Line in New York.

It was a Congress which has no equal. Superlative Green Roof projects, outstanding speakers, top-class presentations and an international collegial atmosphere made the two days at the 4th International Green Roof Congress in Istanbul from April 20–21, 2015 an industry highlight.

Thanks to ZinCo green roof technology with the roof gardens of the Tivoli Congress Center and the Rigsarkivet (National Archives) building, a cohesive chain of public spaces has been created for pedestrians and cyclists in Copenhagen, similar to the High Line in New York.

As a pioneer for more than 40 years in matters relating to green roofs, the name ZinCo stands for permanently reliable green roof systems – suitable for any roof and any design.

“Like-A-Leaf“ refers to the extraordinary architectural design of the new playhouse in Plaswijckpark, Rotterdam, which it is incorporated into the surrounding landscape just “like a leaf”. The ZinCo green roof systems that are used are specifically designed to suit the site and are adapted to the varying roof pitches.

The green roof of the new Visitor Centre in the VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver has a green roof shaped like an orchid. As the roof pitch ranges from 2° to 55 °, different greening solutions were required. They were implemented safely and in line with the specific project requirements thanks to ZinCo technology.
