Urban life has led to reduced greenery. In recent time, people are looking for green root assembles as an alternate to traditional gardens. The green roof assembly does not involve covering plants with soil. It is a complex process that consists of the layering of a green roof waterproof membrane. It helps people to enjoy the garden on eth roof without damaging the structural integrity.
One should understand that green roofing is a sustainable solution. Still, if the process is not done correctly, or the builder did not use a quality PVC waterproof sheet, the roof could leak and create issues. The residents and owners would not have a good experience.
The green roof assembly consists of the roof deck, membrane or primary roof covering and roof insulation. The layers would help in making the building weatherproof and improve the building’s thermal resistance. The process involves a structural deck, waterproofing system (deck membrane) and plantings. The waterproofing stops moisture from entering the building structure.
Experts suggest that the green roof assembly should include a high-quality waterproofing membrane, membrane protection tools and activities, and complete adhesion to the substrate. Individual planters or water system would be a good idea, as they do not create much damage but could be part of the green coverings.
The critical components of the Green Roof Assembly are:
- Structural deck
- Primer
- Waterproofing membrane
- Protection course
- Root barrier
- Drainage layer
- Moisture-resistant thermal insulation
- Aeration layer
- Reservoir layer
- Filter fabric
- Engineered soil-based growth medium for plants to grow
The membrane plays a crucial role in the complete process. It reduces the chances of leakage. In extreme cases, if leaks occur, they stop horizontal leakage, making it easy for the professional to locate the leakage and work on the issue with immediate effect. The desired feature of the membrane should be such that it can withstand moisture for a long period.
A professional would check on the roof and then suggest the best solution to allow people to enjoy a roof garden by keeping their property safe from leakage.
