GREEN TERRACE: A RELAXING SPOT ABOVE THE GROUND
Nowadays, the idea of having a green terrace as a roof is much easier to implement than in the past due to the development of a multi-layer system that protects the roof itself waterproofingwise and it ensures all the conditions necessary for vegetation to grow above the ground.
Although in our country it is not as popular as in other European countries, especially in the western part of the continent, the green terrace is an alternative to the gray and dull roofs that predominate in every city, an alternative that brings health benefits and a sense of beauty.

HOW TO CHOOSE PLANTS FOR A GREEN TERRACE
The green terrace is the kind of roof on whose surface different types of vegetation are planted following the client’s preferences. Also, another criterion underlying the choice of vegetation is the amount of time that person is willing to allocate for maintaining the terrace. Given this last aspect, there are 2 types of terraces: extensive and intensive.
The extensive green terrace includes vegetation of a relatively small size which doesn’t grow much in height, being planted in a layer of soil of maximum 15 cm. Such vegetation does not require maintenance work. On the other side, the intensive green terrace is more aesthetically impressive. The thickness of the soil layer (which can reach even 50 cm) allows planting a tall vegetation of various plants, even small shrubs. This type of vegetation implies greater maintenance care than the extensive green terrace.
GREEN TERRACE: BEAUTIFUL SCENERY AND FRESH AIR
The extensive green terrace also offers the possibility of a truly beautiful space in all respects, a way to enjoying an oasis of tranquility right in the middle of the city, but away from its noises. A green terrace is an elegant landscape, a drop of color in a grey sea, and also a good way of reducing pollution, therefore protecting the environment by retaining dust particles and other pollutants.

Beside its aesthetic advantages, a roof terrace contributes efficiently to the improvement of thermal insulation quality, ensuring optimal temperature and thermal comfort throughout the year. Also it has the ability to attenuate noise due to its soundproofing properties.
The drainage system is equally important. Most often looking like an egg carton, it retains the water in the specific compartments in order to hydrate the soil and redirecting the surplus of pluvial water into the drains.
