Ecological Benefits
of Green Roofs

Reduction of Urban Heat Island Effect

Green Roof surfaces filter and bind dust as well as other harmful materials out of the air. Moreover, landscaped roofs improve the microclimate by cooling and humidifying the surrounding air.

Reduced Noise Level

Due to the soft plant matter on Green Roofs, there is sound absorbtion instead of sound reflection. With a Green Roof, the sound insulation of a building can be improved by up to 8 dB.

Natural Habitat for Animals and Plants

At the very least, a part of the green surfaces which were sacrificed to building developments can be compensated by landscaped roofs. By carefully selecting appropriate plant species, development impacts are reduced and wildlife development is encouraged.

Use of High Quality Recycled Materials

Recycled rubber and polyethylene are suitable materials for the production of the drainage elements. The most important criterion is the product's quality which is controlled and certified by reputable institutes.
