Feasibility of green roofs with artificial turf
Artificial lawn can be used alone or with some plants to decorate. The amount of soil required is reduced and load is reduced. Because the artificial lawn does not need water, fertilizer and other maintenance, so the laying will not cause damage to the waterproof layer, on the contrary, it can also play a certain protective role.
The artificial lawn has developed the function of heat insulation and noise reduction at present, which makes the artificial lawn as the main body of roof greening not only to beautify the greening, but also to achieve a certain function.
Artificial turf is low cost, simple paving, no need to consider diseases and insect pests and maintenance problems, without management, it can be evergreen, the appearance is very close to natural grass, natural rain can be clean. Moreover, the long service life is much more cost-effective than the real grass. Once popularized and promotion, the rate of roof greening will be greatly improved.
However, it is important to pay attention to the lawn roof greening paving in the roof load bearing capacity of the building, if the load does not reach the standard, then it violates the principle of architecture; what's more, the roof drainage and wind direction should be considered, the roof greening should ensure the drainage port, and the roof row can not be ignored because of the drainage of the lawn. The problem of water intake is to consider the direction of the wind so that the green roofs will not be blown down by strong winds.
