In Moscow, there are more and more roofs with lawns and flower beds. Grass and bushes have already appeared on the roof of the grocery store in the House-Book on Novy Arbat, on the roof of the Union of Moscow Architects in Granatny Lane, as well as on the roofs of elite residential complexes. This type of gardening is just beginning to develop in Russia. For comparison, in Germany, lawns and gardens are laid out on 10% of all roofs.
Lilia Leontyeva, Chief Landscape Architect of Gorky Park, talks about the start of an interesting green project in Moscow together with Tsinko RUS.
The company "ZinCo RUS" ("ZinCo") is a member of the National Roofing Union of Russia, the Union of Architects of Russia, the Association of Builders of Russia, and also conducts a course of lectures on advanced training for specialists of construction and architectural organizations on roof greening systems at the Center for New Building Technologies materials and equipment "Moskomarkhitektury.
Since 2008 the company "Tsinko RUS" provides a ten-year guarantee for the production of green roofs. About 50 projects with green roofs have been implemented, and all of them are working successfully. But it should be borne in mind that several companies should not build a green roof at once. The device of a green roofing system - from the base with hydro and thermal insulation, the "pie" of landscaping, the selection of plants for climatic zones and the substrate for them, to maintenance in operation - should be trusted by one company. Only then is the result guaranteed!
