Green Roof Application
Contrary to popular belief and like in every field, some of those who are dealing with building materials can be environmentally friendly. The idea for ‘Green roof houses’ came from a material trend, which is popular from time to time. Although our country is identified more with a flat roof model, inclined roofs are now also frequently used. Maybe, we will start to see ‘Green Roof Application’ in Cyprus as well.
In these ‘green roof tiles’, using the sedum plants, the tiles made are in the same normal sizes and weight as regular tiles and they are installed in the same way. This greenery on the roof helps many pollinating enthusiasts, especially bees, keep birds happy and increases biodiversity. Roof tiles also decrease the noise coming outside by providing sound insulation. It helps keeps buildings cool against the Cyprus temperatures and prolongs the roof’s life by protecting it from sun, rain and wind damage.
These roof tiles are not only seen as environmentally
friendly, they also improve the air quality, store
rainwater and provide a natural insulation.
The practitioner of Green Roof in the Netherlands: Groendakpan
Groendakpan, in other words green tile (www.groendakpan.nl), was developed in 2018 by a company that produces sedum saplings. The product was not competitive initially in terms of its quality and price, but with some innovations it was decided to place the plants inside the tiles. By producing each step themselves it created a unique opportunity to speed up the process. The installation of the tiles turned into a quality application when it was offered as a service. This work has continued to be developed and day by day has become more successful. It has been seen that the system, which started with a traditional method and un-skilled employees, now needed competent craftsmen. Nowadays, a team that has been mastered in the assembly of this product, has been established.
The installation on inclined roofs is easy and offers a waterproof finish just like a regular tiled roof. It can either be used in new constructions or can be used retrospectively in renovations. Due to its size and weight, it is designed to function exactly the same as a regular tiled roof. Since the tile substrate and sedum mix mat is attached to the tile, it can be applied to roof pitches of between 25o to 55o.
Support can always be found for the dissemination and development of such applications. The message is, do not hesitate to go forward and announce your environmental ideas in the field of construction like this! Support its implementation and use!...
