Green roof, lightweight roof

In order to keep the load on the roof surface as low as possible, special systems with a minimized layer structure, so-called "lightweight roofs", are required.

With a water-saturated weight of about 55kg/m³, it is lighter than a typical gravel roof with a structure of 5cm.
