EVERYTHING ABOUT WATERPROOFING GARDEN ON ROOF

With the trend of urbanization, Da Nang is increasingly having more urban areas and houses, along with the problem of less and less construction area. All indoor areas are fully utilized, but besides, we also want to have a green space, close to nature. Therefore, the construction of a garden on the roof or balcony is the most appropriate and popular today.

1. What are the benefits of a green roof system?

- Creates a natural habitat for flora and fauna.

- Aids biodiversity encouraging a wider spread of species in the area.

- Soft landscaping helps to reduce the risk of flooding by retaining large proportions of annual rainfall and reducing rainwater run-off. Particularly useful within Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) schemes.

- Environmental masking blends the building into its surroundings.

- Improved air quality as vegetation assists in reducing both gaseous pollutants and dust particles

- Reduces urban heat island effect (the difference in temperature between urban areas and the surrounding countryside) through absorption of some of this heat and the natural evaporation of water from plants and soil

- Reduces building’s carbon footprint through lowering building running costs

- Reduced construction costs: no requirement for screed on the deck reducing the overall weight imposed, fewer rainwater outlets, decreased rainwater drainage system capacity and a reduced requirement for storm water attenuation within the SUDs scheme for the site

- Increased life expectancy of waterproofing membranes when protected by green roof landscaping

- Many local authorities favour planning proposals that incorporate green roofs within the application, particularly if it meets their policies towards providing a sustainable environment

- Increased property value – roof usage can be maximised for purposes including leisure, and offers unique potential for replacing the land lost to the building’s footprint.

2. Causes of leaks of roof gardens:

- The first reason is probably the roof garden that has not been waterproofed, has been waterproofed but does not meet the standards or the process of assembling the garden is not technically correct.

- Roof garden waterproofing materials must have the main feature of preventing moisture from penetrating, which is an important element in roof garden design.

- In addition, waterproofing materials require the following several characteristics:

+ Against the penetration of roots and UV rays

+ Can withstand sudden temperature changes

+ Has good elasticity to withstand the elasticity at joints between vertical wall and roof floor

+ Can be submerged in long-term wet conditions, resistant to insects.

Understanding the causes and worries of customers, Hung Thinh waterproofing introduces you to the roof garden waterproofing method with the most advanced waterproofing technology and materials available now.

Through this article, we would like to send to readers the process of waterproofing garden on the roof with the most modern material available only at Hung Thinh Waterproofing.

Step 2: Handle the drainage pipe with Sika Grout, the cracks are cut wide and and sealer Sikaflex (can be resilient according to the elasticity of the roof floor).

Step 3: Conduct a Primer scan (CM liquid combined with Catalist hardener) which increases the adhesion of the waterproofing membrane.

Step 4: Mix mixture Matacryl AB and Catalist hardener, where B is the component that increases elasticity (can be up to 300%), A is the main component of the waterproofing membrane. Apply the mixture evenly on the floor surface and especially the base of the wall, so it is thicker.

Step 5: After 30 minutes, the product can be tested and put into use immediately.
