Alumasc backs Green Roof training course

Key training course designed as a comprehensive introduction to Green Roof technology is being supported by market leading specialist Alumasc.

Green Roofs: Basic Principles and Design is being offered by CIRIA on the 5th and 6th November in response to the need for greater understanding of this fast-growing sector of the construction industry Alumasc's unrivalled experience in green roofs offers proven solutions backed by extensive technical and logistical resources, and as a sponsor and supporter of the training course, the company continues to be active in promoting the environmental advantages green roofs can deliver

Alumasc's ZinCo Green Roof Systems offer unique opportunities for specifiers to introduce solutions that satisfy aesthetic, ecological and financial imperatives.

Living roofs act as 'green lungs' in an urban environment, absorbing pollution, dispensing oxygen and providing a wildlife habitat.

They also add significantly to sound and thermal insulation values, retain and utilise rainwater, so easing pressure on drainage infrastructure and they can fulfill a functional role as gardens and recreational areas.

Delegates to the conference will be given best practice direction across a range of issues relating to the design, planning, construction and maintenance of green roofs.

As part of the training, the components which make up an Alumasc ZinCo roof will be provided to allow each attendee to understand the principles involved in construction.
