Frequently asked questions about a sustainable roof
What is bitumen roofing?
Bitumen roofing is also called roofing leather and is very suitable for flat roofs. This waterproof material is used to cover additions, verandas, dormers or garden sheds. Today, bitumen is increasingly recycled for less environmental impact.

What is a green roof?
A green roof is a flat or pitched roof overgrown with plants, grasses, etc. It consists of multiple layers for optimal protection and nutrition. Not every roof is suitable for a green roof, as it requires a special root-resistant substrate.
Interested in a green roof? Please contact us for the possibilities.
What does a green roof cost?
The construction of a green roof depends on the number of m2 and the desired layers. Because it is an environmentally friendly way to better insulate homes, many municipalities make grants available. This makes a green roof even more interesting to invest in.
We would be happy to tell you more about a green roof and the subsidy in a consultation.
How long does bitumen roof last?
A bitumen roof lasts an average of 25 years. Due to cold, precipitation and sunlight, bitumen roofs have a lot to endure. Proper maintenance is therefore necessary for longevity.

When to replace bitumen roof?
Once cracks or tears appear in the bitumen, the roof may no longer be watertight. Blistering under the bitumen can also indicate moisture under the covering. If the roof is in danger of leaking or has suffered major damage, it is wise to replace the bitumen roofing. Repair is often more difficult and expensive.

Why carpet pad roofing?
Before the top layer can be placed, an under layer must first be laid. This is an additional layer for the protection of a home. In addition, insulation plays a big role, as it keeps the heat in the house.

What roofing material flat roof?

Which roofing material to choose?
