2. Water-proof and seepage-proof, the green roof of the plant layer can reduce the roof temperature, prevent construction cracks, reduce UV radiation, delay the deterioration of the waterproof layer, effectively protect the waterproof layer of the building, and prolong the service life of the roof building materials.
