Iglu’® Green Roof

Extensive roof-top gardens

Is a type of green cover for medium-large surfaces, with reduced load capacity, which does not require special implementation and maintenance costs, given the limited thickness of the substrate and the type of vegetation belonging to very durable species with shallow roots (grass, sedum, herbaceous perennials).
It can be applied on flat or sloped coverings (up to 30°), and it is particularly suitable for the roofs of industrial buildings, shopping centers, office blocks and garage roofing.
From the economic point of view, it is a valid solution also for covering residential complexes and single-family houses.

Generally it is not a usable type of covering, but it is important especially for environmental mitigation and compensation in highly urbanized contexts. The certainty of lower heat loss during the winter, but, above all, the high natural cooling in summer, make the extensive green roofs made with Iglu’® green roof an ideal solution also for less useful roofs to be turned green.

Intensive green roof

Is the most representative solution of the traditional garden. This solution allows the choice between a huge number of different species, which also include shrubs and trees of the third magnitude and requires a high degree of maintenance.
The ability to recreate environments which are fully comparable to the traditional gardens on the ground, make this type of covering a fully usable structure.

Coverings of this type are particularly suitable for private homes and hospitals, elderly homes, tourist facilities, covers for underground garages, driveways and parking areas, where high loads and mechanical stress are expected.
