Green roof
Planted flat roofs have long since shaken off their reputation as nothing more than ornamental. In fact, the extra usable roof level offers some very tangible benefits: it compensates for sealed areas by storing rainwater and other precipitation, and by supplying fresh air. It protects the roof against UV rays and extremes of temperature. And, of course, it provides the basis for flourishing flora and fauna – or even a full-scale garden.
Using your roof area as a terrace is coming more and more into vogue. This special form of green roof transforms the entire house into a natural garden landscape while at the same time serving as an important relaxation and leisure area.
