Corporate Brochure - 2

Roofs are more than just “functional components” for protecting building materials. Roofs give character to individual buildings and entire city districts. But roofs are also coming to be viewed more and more as reserve urban areas for creative planners looking for socially responsible concepts that counteract the loss of natural living spaces. Green roofs are extending the variety of contemporary architecture. They fill the concept of “roof landscape” with new life: Nature – increasingly hemmed in by buildings and paved surfaces – returns as an attractive green element in residential,...

Green roofs are better roofs Safe and reliable System Build-ups by ZinCo are an investment in long-term building preservation, and their functional benefits are persuasive. Rainwater is stored in the system substrate materials. When heavy rains occur, water drainage into a building’s storm sewer system is significantly delayed, reducing sewage system loads. One benefit is the considerable extension in the lifetime of the roof waterproof membrane and structure. Green roofs protect against UV rays as well as mechanical and thermal stresses. A natural microclimate with heightened oxygen...

Nature as a creative dimension in architecture Contemporary architecture has a high level of social responsibility. It defines living spaces. The aesthetics of nature as an added dimension in the building process extends the formal design task, creating space for new ideas. For people in urban areas, the possibility of experiencing nature offers a bit of quality to life. In the context of the residential environment, greened roof areas become spaces for private retreat. In public areas, they provide opportunities for meeting others, for recreation and for active ways to structure free time....

How can we reconcile an increase in overheating, severe rain events with flooding and the desire...

Water is an element of life Water is one of the most valuable resources and is a life necessity – for people and flora. Green roofs make a protective and ecologically meaningful contribution to water management by their ability to store water. Generally speaking, an extensive green roof won’t need additional irrigation. However, in climate zones with very low precipitation levels ZinCo provides irrigation versions that work well with the resource water. The plant substrate that is installed retains up to 80 percent of the precipitation when it rains. This delays the drainage of excess...

Roof greening with integrated energy recovery The sun is the foundation of life for plants and an inexhaustible source of energy for people. Exposed roof areas are in demand, both as sites for the recovery of clean, renewable energy by photovoltaics and as a green extension of living spaces. That is not really a conflict: utilization of roof areas for landscaping and the installation of solar power systems have proven to be a perfect combination offering technical and economical benefits. The performance of photovoltaic systems depends on the ambient temperature. High temperatures, which on...
