Sloped green roof: a solution for a modern and ecological home
A sloped green roof is an original design solution in building construction, which is now increasingly perceived as an excellent resource for improving the ecology of cities. Installation of an operated green roof is also ideal for private houses.
Advantages of a sloped green roof
The characteristics of a green roof with a slope significantly exceed conventional roof structures. Their distinctive features:
- ecological component – green plantings on the roof clean the air well;
- increased functionality due to excellent sound and heat insulation properties;
- external aesthetics – installation of a sloping green roof provides an original look to a modern building.
Types of sloping green roofs
From the point of view of the method of landscaping and the specifics of use, sloping roofs are conditionally divided into into two main types:
- Intensive greening of a sloping roof. This format involves planting a virtually full-fledged garden on the roof. Small plants are chosen for work – perennials, cereals and even shrubs.
- Extensive greening of a sloping roof. In this case, only lawn grass and small plants are used. They are placed in prepared containers with an earthen substrate. Plants that do not require special care are usually used as planting material.
From a style point of view, clients have the opportunity to order a project of a sloping green roof according to a certain system. Among the popular ones, one can single out the «Sedum carpet», which imitates a forest clearing, as well as the «Rock Garden» with long-lasting flowering of perennials.
Stages of installation of an operated green roof
The design of a sloping green roof involves the creation of a plan and a general concept of the structure. Next, the installation work of the roofing pie is carried out. The price of a sloping green roof depends on the selected materials and the amount of planting material:
- a waterproofing layer is laid using polymer membranes;
- a drainage layer is formed to protect the roots and drain water;
- a geotextile filter layer is installed to prevent drainage from clogging.
After this, a layer of soil with vegetation is laid. The selected plants must be adapted to the climate and easily tolerate wintering on the roof.
