Eco-RoofsPosted by admin on February 18th, 2010
Have you seen the garden in the roof of Reese Witherspoon’s San Francisco apartment in the movie Just Like Heaven? That is the trend nowadays of modern houses, they encourage the building of ecoroofs.
The environment is in shambles and everyone is scared and stressed about it (probably the reason why most people need deep wrinkle treatment as early as late twenties!), and the ecoroof is one of the little ways to help out. Plus your house won’t be as hot during the summer – a totally win-win situation!
An ecoroof is a vegetated roof system used in place of a conventional roof. Ecoroofs are comprised of several layers that include a root barrier, waterproof membrane, drainage, soil system, and plants. Similar to landscaping your yard, the viability of any ecoroof is dependent on many variables such as climate, exposure, soil and plant type, and initial maintenance. With those variables in mind, there are many design opportunities to transform a conventional roof into a beautiful, functional and beneficial space.
