FOAMGLAS® COMPACT ROOF

Cities around the world are bustling with life and getting busier by the day. To accommodate the influx of citizens, our cities need to keep expanding. But there is only so much space on the ground to build structures on. That’s where roofs come in: the existing and new-build surfaces are just waiting to be put to greater use.

The possibilities are limitless. Activity roofs like parks with intensive vegetation, parking, blue roofs for water retention as well as sport and game facilities are just some of the applications that can be fitted to a roof area.

Repurposing roofs offers many advantages. Building an activity roof on top of an existing structure is a smart use of existing surfaces, creating additional living space and making buildings more attractive. Not just for the eyes, but as an investment too. Both new and existing buildings can benefit from this. The location of these roofs is often very lucrative, and the views from the elevated platform are lush.

Green and blue roofs have ecological benefits. They improve the microclimate and handle water effectively. In summer, they increase comfort indoors and reduce the need for air conditioning. They also provide natural cooling in cities, adding a slice of nature in a bustling metropolis.

This brochure captures all risks involved with acitivity roofs and how FOAMGLAS® insulation mitigates these.
