Green roofs are becoming more and more popular, especially in densely populated urban areas, where it is important to use available roof space. Green areas and roof terraces increase value both for property developers and those who live in or use the buildings.
Ballasted or green roofs can be used for recreational areas or roof gardens. These solutions give architects and builders a lot of freedom for aesthetic design and contribute to more natural surroundings through the use of pebbles or vegetation. This often increases the value of the property and offers increased quality of life to those who live or work in the building.
The weight of the ballast requires the load-bearing structure to be engineered for this purpose.
Protan membranes for green roofs are well suited for both new construction and rehabilitation projects. They have high quality and long life. The membrane is laid loose and requires no mechanical attachment to the roof surface - thus the vapor barrier is not punctured.
Intensive green roofs have a thick layer of soil and can be laid out as a roof garden with trees, shrubs and hedges.
Ballasted roofs can be used for living areas. The weight of the ballast requires that the load-bearing structure is intended for the purpose.
Turf roofs are most common in holiday homes, but are increasingly being used to soften the urban environment.
