Changing weather conditions and pollution are just two of
the reasons that have led to the increasing popularity of green roofs. They are
one of the most effective solutions for the recovery of the environment.
Roof vegetation captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,
as well as microparticles or wind-blown dust, generating oxygen, providing
cleaner, more breathable air. In addition, biodiversity is boosted, as they are
an important haven for micro-habitats, which are usually disturbed by the urbanization.
Advantages of having a green roof are multiple, and TAG contractors can provide you with lots of information. Whether we
are referring to energy savings, achieved by maintaining thermal comfort and reducing
temperature differences, or to the beautiful aspect of green roofs, the cost - efficiency
ratio favors the idea of implementing these solutions to as many buildings as
possible.
For example, if the outside temperature is 35 ° C, it can
reach much higher levels on the surface of a roof exposed in direct sunlight
and, as a consequence, the temperature in the building will become
uncomfortably high. Green roofs provide thermal insulation and keep the house
cool, while allowing you to enjoy several other significant advantages, such as
protection against fire and noise, as well as retaining and filtering rainwater.
