The basic anatomy of a green roof consists of vegetation growing medium filter membrane drainage layer waterproof root repellant layer roofing membrane support for plantings above thermal insulation vapor control layer and structural roof support.
Green roof filter membrane.
Typically green roofs comprise following components i e.
Cities are expanding and the global population is growing steadily.
This is ideal when a high load capacity is needed.
Some waterproofing membranes use sealants adhesives or tapes to secure the seams but because the sarnafil membrane is thermoplastic seams and flashings are welded together using sika s automatic hot air welder the sarnamatic.
All three types of roofs require specific layers of roofing materials not found on regular roofs.
Faulty seams and details are a common source of leaks in green roofs.
Used as a horizontal filter layer on green roofs between the drainage layer and substrate and or separation between peddle strips and substrate.
Green roof solutions alhd is a high density polyethylene hdpe composite product with filter fabric bonded to both sides.
The green roof segment harbours a great deal of potential and will become increasingly significant as climate change continues.
For long term environmental benefits the selection of each layer according to the location and climatic conditions is very important.
This is suitable for superstructural parts that can be walked on as a horizontal filter layer.
The grs alhd creates space for water to evaporate within the high density core.
