advantages of a green roof
A green roof has many advantages. Such as its remarkable presence. A Sempergreen® green roof looks good all year round and adds calm to the surroundings. Besides that, there are financial, environmental and practical advantages to a Sempergreen® green roof. We’ll list them for you:
A green roof saves energy in both Summer and Winter because of the good insulation.
A green roof protects the underlying roof against UV radiation, giving it a longer lifetime.
Thanks to a green roof, your property value will increase.
A green roof has a rainwater retention of about 50%. That means the sewer system is loaded less. Some municipalities therefore give grants for laying a green roof.
A green roof also cleans the rainwater, so fewer pollutants end up in the groundwater.
A green roof lowers the surrounding temperature and absorbs CO2 and fine dust. That’s good for the environment!
A green roof isolates against noise. Think of a heavy hailstorm or a low-flying aircraft. A green roof gives you more quiet in your office!
A green roof is nice to look at from another building or from the ground. It is a well-known fact that greenery is relaxing!
No need to install ballast with a Sempergreen® green roof, thanks to the saturated weight of about 85 kg/m². (Systems from about 35 kg/m² are also possible.)
