Around 6 000m² of roof were vegetated with Sopranature Toundra seedling. The waterproofing complex with no visible fixation have been implemented on Nofix steel trays. All system components, vapour barrier and Sopralène Flam Jardin two-layer bituminous waterproofing with resistant root treatment has been glued.
