Why doing Garden Roofing?

For the Owner :  

Durability

A vegetable roof in general makes it possible to double the life expectancy of your roof because the ground protects from the rays Ultra-violets and the thermal amplitudes.

Reduction of Heating and Climatisation cost.

A black conventional roof with asphalts or bitumen stores heat during summer and can reach the double of the ambient air.
The vegetable roof being fresher it becomes useless to consume water and energy to air-condition the building. Air-conditioning is done itself by the inertia of the temperature of the ground. With a good insulation like the insulation of process MIDEX®, to suit you to be able to also save in winter, because heat will remain inside and thus will enable you to save up to 30% in expenditure of heating. The fall of 1 degree Celsius of heat or air-conditioning allows a fall from approximately 5% of the consumption of energy.

Noise reduction

In the majority of the vegetable roofs we have a layer of 15 cm ground, which makes it possible to lower the sound volume of more than 40 decibels.

Increase your property value and space

By using a flat roof for your house you can double your livable space without paying of tax. Being given the increasing price of the real estate and the scarcity of the grounds especially downtown, it is clear that to have a garden on the roof is a significant advantage within the framework of a better valorization of your good.

For the Earth :

Fight against climate changes

If the cities had at least 10% of garden roofs it would  lower the temperature of the cities of more than 1 degree and without counting the saving of heating and air-conditioning.

Better Way of Life

It is proven that the contact with nature reduces the stress, therefore the diseases in addition to improving the urban landscape

Better Air Quality

A surface as small as 15 square meters (110 square feet) vegetalized produces enough oxygen for a family of four people for one day.

Infrastructure costs

With vegetable roofs one can control rainwater and retain more than 50% of the quantity of water poured by a storm. So we do not have to invest in bigger drains

As the water can be treated directly on your premise you can also save on your water invoice.

Reduction of construction waste

If we do not have to replace the roof regularly, we save our resources and just like limit  the gas emission and  greenhouse effect.
