THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A GREEN ROOF SYSTEM TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS IS NOT LIMITED ONLY TO THE DEFINITION OF THE MOST CORRECT TECHNICAL STRATIGRAPHY AND THE APPROPRIATE CHOICE OF VEGETATION, BUT ALSO REQUIRES A CAREFUL STUDY OF TECHNICAL DETAILS AND, THEREFORE, IN AN APPROPRIATE AND CONSCIOUS CHOICE OF ACCESSORIES.

WHEN WE SPEAK OF A ROOF GARDEN WE ARE IN FACT REFERRING TO A ROOF AND, AS SUCH, IT MUST BE DESIGNED IN ALL ITS DETAILS, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE PERFORMANCE REQUIRED OF THIS TECHNOLOGICAL UNIT, FIRST AMONG ALL: A PROPER DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF THE WATERPROOFING ELEMENT – IN ORDER TO ENSURE WATER TIGHTNESS AND RESISTANCE TO ROOT ACTION AS REQUIRED BY EN 13948 – AND AN ADEQUATE MANAGEMENT OF RAINWATER DRAINAGE.

TO THIS END, IN A GREEN ROOF SYSTEM, EACH TECHNICAL NODE MUST BE PROPERLY DESIGNED AND CONTROLLED, IDENTIFYING THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS, USING AND INTEGRATING THE SYSTEM WITH ACCESSORIES SPECIFICALLY PRODUCED FOR THIS PURPOSE. HARPO VERDEPENSILE OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE SELECTION OF ACCESSORIES SUITABLE TO MEET BOTH THE MOST COMMON TECHNICAL NEEDS AND TO SUPPORT DESIGNERS AND INSTALLERS IN SPECIFIC CASES.

NEGLECTING TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT ACCESSORY CAN BOTH JEOPARDIZE THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH INADEQUATE DRAINAGE CAPACITY, BUT ALSO CAUSE A RANGE OF DAMAGE SUCH AS SEEPAGE PHENOMENA, DRAIN CLOGGING, AND DAMAGE TO THE WATERPROOFING LAYER.
