What is a parking deck?
A parking deck system enables the installation of vehicular pavements on roofs. Parking decks are often combined with intensive vegetation. This means that the existing environment around a building can be extended onto the roof of the construction.
Advantages of a parking deck system:
More space is reclaimed for the surrounding area, creating new options for using the space on a roof.
The roof seamlessly transitions into the surrounding area.
Protection of the waterproofing membrane: the vegetation helps to counteract the harmful effect of sunlight and rain on the waterproofing membrane. This protects the waterproofing membrane and it increases its lifespan.
Makes a positive contribution to the living environment: this system is generally combined with vegetation. It therefore makes a positive contribution in other regards as well, such as increasing biodiversity, combatting the heat island effect and reducing sewer system loads during heavy precipitation.
