Green Roofs

Why is grass being planted on rooftops in Scandinavia? 
The stunning nature in the vastness of the Scandinavian countries is harmoniously complemented by the view of colorful houses covered with a green roof. Flowers, grass, bushes and even oversized trees are planted on the rooftops. Cladding with natural materials in countries with harsh climates became popular in ancient times. The main reason for the relevance of "lawns" on the roof - economy and practicality, and many centuries ago it was also an excellent disguise from enemies.
The combination of turf, dry bark and grass has an excellent thermal insulation effect. A roof made of natural materials allows you to maintain stable heat in the room even in cold weather and reliably protects against moisture. In hot weather, the green layer protects the room from the scorching sun rays.
