Beautiful Glass Roofs in Norway

Beautiful Glass Roofs in Norway:
Not all environment solutions involve modern technology or new ideas. Grass roofs on houses in Norway are one such case. Translated literally, torvtak is “turf roof.” For hundreds of years turf roofs have been popular in Norway. Some are bright green and almost velvety. A number of turf roofs have flowers mixed in with the grass, and a few have small trees.

They are very heavy, so they help to stabilize the house; they provide good insulation;  and they are long-lasting. Special skills and materials are required to prepare the roof for the turf topping. Meanwhile, in the UK the government would like to see more people go for grass roofs and suggest such a move could cut their tax bill.
