Roof Garden

What is a Roof Garden?
Roof garden means planting plants and trees on the roof of the building, which replaces the green space on which the building is built. Today, due to the growth of urban population and its impact on increasing the amount of construction, the need to develop artificial green space is strongly felt and creating a green roof is an ideal solution in this regard. Germany is one of the leaders in creating green roofs. 12% of the country's buildings are decorated with roof gardens. The annual growth of the number of these buildings is between 10 and 15%.​​​​​​​

Benefits of Roof Garden

The Roof garden reduces the amount of runoff and wastage of surface water It has a great effect on reducing urban temperature. Reduces noise pollution as well as air pollution. Roof Garden is effective in reducing energy consumption. Increases the life of the roof shell. It is a quiet and suitable place for interaction between the neighbors of the building. Roof Garden is a beautiful and pleasant environment for holding parties and celebrations

Roof Garden design
Roof garden design is a sensitive and specialized issue. In design and execution, in addition to the beauty of the green roof, the issue of insulation and the final weight of the execution is of great importance. Frenico specialists serve our dear customers by determining the direction of the wind, determining the appropriate vegetation, determining the routes and many other subtle points to achieve the best layout and materials for the implementation of the green roof. For more information on this, read the following about roof garden design principles.

The most important points in the design of the roof garden 

To design a green roof (Roof Garden), you need a specialist because the most important issue is the amount of weight that the Roof Garden puts on your roof. The force must be calculated accurately. Then the next step is related to insulation and insulation in such a way that special roof garden insulation is used for this work so that there is no problem in building the building.​​​​​​​

 3Ways to implement a green roof

Wide

Concentrated​​​​​​​

Modular​​​​​​​

Roof garden  centralized and wide
In this type, we need a structure with minimal facilities and slight changes in the roof sealing. There are principles for designing a green roof that it is better to check and do. In this design, it is very important to pay attention to the main traffic routes. The arrangement where the main path is determined by the staining of the green space and the location of the pavilion. Slowly at this stage, manual etudes of plant species and equipment are done and to better understand what is happening, the design is done in two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Then select the vegetation that should be tailored to the climatic characteristics (including directional light and wind intensity, etc.) for the roof garden (green roof). In planting design, the main focus is on selecting plant species that are resistant to severe environmental conditions and evergreen plants. Due to the problem of water shortage and saving on its consumption, automatic irrigation system can be an ideal option and solve this problem. Depending on the density and type of plants, a specific program for irrigation at times and intervals is given to the device and irrigation is done regularly.​​​​​​​

Modular Roof Garden
 This type of roof design reduces costs. Vegetation is placed inside galvanized boxes or plastic pots, then you can put them in plastic and thermo wood boxes called flower boxes for beauty and cover. In addition, pergolas and pergolas and prefabricated equipment such as waterfalls can be used. Other remaining space can be filled with sand, decorative stones or artificial grass.

Roof Garden design generalities
Roof garden cools and cools the air in your home in summer and also reduces energy consumption in winter by covering the roof. If you want to use a pavilion in designing a roof garden, you should pay attention to the weight of the pavilion as well as the wind force. Thermowood or Plast wood pavilions are usually used for the roof garden. To choose the right flower and plant for the roof garden, you should pay attention to the plant's resistance to strong winds and direct sunlight, heat and cold tolerance, and the rate of root growth.​​​​​​​
