We design and build green roofs for private individuals and companies, an alternative solution to traditional roofing which respects all the structural, thermal and mechanical characteristics.
The advantages of those who choose coverage green:
- Energy saving
– Mitigation of the microclimate
– Greater insulation
– Reduction of air and noise pollution
– Filtering of fine dust
– Reduction in the speed of water flow
– Better performance of any photovoltaic panels
Intensive or extensive green roof?
Once the decision has been made to transform your traditional roof into a green space, the choice remains between the two types: intensive or extensive green roof. The two variants respond to different needs, so it is good to be clear about their differences before starting the design.
Extensive green roofs:
– Low maintenance
– Thin substrate, ideal for drought-tolerant and low-growing plants
– Lower costs
– Installation on multiple varieties of structures
– Suitable for survival in difficult or extreme climatic conditions
Intensive green roofs:
– Deeper substrate for growing a wide variety of plants
– Constant maintenance (4-5 times a year)
– Accessible and livable surface
Design and Maintenance of green roofs
By relying on the Garden of Roses, you choose a complete and personalized service. We analyze and design the best solution for you, we take care of its creation and subsequently its maintenance.
Interventions necessary for the care of green roofs:
– Connection to the water network to ensure correct irrigation
– Fall arrest systems
– Accessibility to the roof
The installation of both types of green roofs requires constant maintenance interventions, for the well-being and correct growth of the chosen vegetation, but also the constant monitoring of the installed systems.
Maintenance:
– Extensive roofs: it does not require many interventions, it mainly deals with the removal of weeds and cleaning of gutters and drains
– Intensive roofs: traditional maintenance interventions such as pruning, checking irrigation systems, lawn care and possible disinfestation must be considered.
