In the jargon, we talk about green roofs, living roofs or ecological roofs.

Why choose a green roof?
A green roof?
It’s mainly a question of taste.
It’s also a matter of aesthetics.
It’s a unique way to enhance your roof, as well as your building.
This environmentally-friendly initiative lets you add greenery to your space.
If you don’t have much outdoor space, this type of roofing allows you to create a garden and enjoy a green space.
A green roof is especially recommended in large cities to reduce pollution.
Green plants capture carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
This helps improve the air.
What criteria must be met to create a green roof?
A green roof isn’t something to be done by chance.
You need to prepare your roof before planting, otherwise you risk premature damage or water infiltration.
It’s advisable to call on experts to carry out this type of project.
Among the requirements to be met, an impermeable membrane must be installed between the soil and the roof structure to prevent water infiltration.
Plants must not exceed a certain height.
