Extensive Green Roofs – Modern Systems from the Manufacturer
Are you looking for a way to increase the biologically active area of your investment? As a manufacturer of ground stabilization systems, Natan Plast provides professional solutions for the construction of green roofs that combine aesthetics with the highest regard for ecology.
An extensive green roof is not just a trend in modern architecture, but primarily offers real benefits for the building and the planet. These systems allow for the introduction of vegetation where traditional gardens are not feasible. Thanks to Natan Plast products, building an ecological roof becomes simpler, more durable, and fully aligned with the spirit of sustainable development.
What characterizes an extensive green roof?
Unlike intensive roofs (rooftop gardens), extensive roofs are almost maintenance-free. This is an ideal solution for residential buildings, office buildings, and industrial halls.
- Self-sufficient vegetation: Primarily mosses, sedums, and herbs are used here, which are resistant to extreme temperatures and lack of regular watering.
- Lightweight construction: Our systems, utilizing Natan Plast ecogrids and appropriately selected geotextiles, allow for the construction of green roofs without excessive load on the slab.
- Substrate stabilization: The use of ecogrids on sloped roofs prevents the vegetative layers from sliding, which is crucial for the project’s durability.
Why choose Natan Plast solutions? The Manufacturer's Advantage
As a manufacturer with 20 years of experience, we understand the challenges faced by architects and contractors. Our products are the foundation of a safe green roof:
- Natural retention: Natan Plast products support rainwater storage, which relieves urban drainage systems and improves the microclimate around the building.
- Protection of roof layers: A well-designed system using our materials protects the roof’s waterproofing from UV rays and mechanical damage.
- 100% Recycling: By choosing our materials, you genuinely reduce the carbon footprint of your investment. We process post-consumer waste into high-quality construction systems.
FAQ
Green roofs in practice
An ecogrid is crucial, especially on sloped roofs. It acts as a framework that holds the roof substrate in place, preventing its erosion and displacement due to gravity or strong winds.
In many cities, investors can count on property tax exemptions or reduced fees for rainwater discharge. Additionally, a green roof acts as natural thermal insulation – cooling the building in summer and retaining heat in winter, thereby lowering energy bills.
Yes. All our products, including ecogrids and geotextiles, possess the necessary technical documentation (National Technical Assessment, EPD Certificate), allowing for their safe use in multi-family and industrial construction.
No. This system is designed to be almost maintenance-free. Extensive vegetation is self-sufficient, and human involvement is usually limited to checking the patency of roof drains once or twice a year.
