ROOF GARDENS
THE ADVANTAGES OF PRACTICAL GARDEN CONSTRUCTIONS:
TEMPERATURE BALANCE
during summer time, temperature is being reduced and during the winter time the garden does not let the heat of the expensive heaters go through the roof emitting to the atmosphere, especially in the attic rooms;
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
significantly reduces and balances the precipitation water amount of the roof’s water collector and in the areas around the house, in the case of open water drainage system;
IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF THE LANDSCAPE
naturally blending in the natural surroundings of the building
HAVE THE EFFECT OF THE "GREEN OASIS"
in the city, where such plantings and trees are limited. Distinguish: extensive and intensive type roof gardens.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF GREEN ROOFS: EXTENSIVE AND INTENSIVE
-
The characteristics of the intensive roof gardens:
- ability to grow a lawn, plant shrubs, flowers and low height trees, to make cobbling paths
- more expensive for exploitation
- more expensive for installation (the thickness of the constructive layers 20-60 cm, AAWS- automatic water system is necessary)
- heavier construction 400 < kg/m2
- being installed above the underground car parking, thus enabling one to have beautiful and functional outside premises
