Green Roof System
Key features and benefits
A Green Roof system looks great while being good for the environment.
If the goal is to create a building that is sitting comfortably in the
landscape or if it is to bring nature into areas where normally concrete and
asphalt prevail - Green Roof systems provide the solution.
Green roof systems are equally applicable on office towers, discrete rural
properties or for podiums above carparks.
Hard construction materials discharge water very quickly, reducing effective
evaporation and loading the drainage systems. Green roofs retain a very high
percentage of rainwater and provide slow, controlled water run-off -
thereby reducing the load and allowing much faster evaporation of accumulated
moisture.
Green roofs can improve the acoustics and thermal properties of the roof while
also providing additional space for recreational and leisure purposes. And they
can significantly increase the life of the waterproofing membrane, protecting
it from UV degradation and the extremes of climatic conditions.
Waterproofing - at the heart of every roof garden
Every successful roof garden system is built upon a sound waterproofing
foundation. It is therefore essential to select a waterproofing manufacturer
and a roofing system that you can trust, to give long term, guaranteed
performance.
Nuralite and Neuchatel are the obvious choice because we offer a complete
system featuring a full range of purpose designed waterproofing, drainage and
filter layer options.
All green roof projects are fully supported by an unrivalled technical service
and design team, available from consultation stage, throughout the contract and
beyond. By working closely together, Nuralite and Neuchatel advisors have the
ability to recommend the best waterproofing system for your project-
bitumenious membrane or mastic asphalt - something no one else can match.
For peace of mind part of the roof garden package includes a full quality
assurance check of the waterproofing system prior to the roof garden layers
being installed and the waterproofing system is backed with a comprehensive
range of waterproofing guarantees.
Finally, we have partnered with New Zealand's leading green roof specialist,
Greenroofs Ltd, to assist when it comes to soil, plant and irrigation
considerations. This ensures that every roof garden project is designed and
installed to the highest standards - and will remain healthy and attractive
with the minimal amount of watering and effort.
