Flat roofs are very popular in modern architecture as they offer optimal use of space and the possibility of greenery and terraces. However, they pose particular challenges in terms of soiling, as the accumulation of dirt, moss and algae can impair the durability and functionality of the roof
The soiling of flat roofs can be caused by various factors. On the one hand, flat roofs are more susceptible to the accumulation of water due to their construction, especially if the waterproofing is not optimal.
Stagnant water encourages the formation of mold and moss, which not only impair the appearance but also the durability of the roof surface. On the other hand, environmental factors such as air pollution, pollen and leaf fall cause dirt to accumulate, which is difficult to remove.
In addition, such deposits can block the drainage systems, which increases the risk of water damage and can result in costly repairs in the long term.

Regular cleaning is essential to ensure the longevity of a flat roof. This is where the dry ice blasting process comes into play. This innovative method offers a number of advantages over traditional cleaning techniques. Dry ice blasting involves shooting small pellets of solid carbon dioxide (CO2), which sublimes at very low temperatures (-78.5 °C), onto the soiled roof surface. Contact with the surface leads to immediate sublimation of the dry ice, transforming it into a gaseous state. This rapid reaction creates a kinetic energy that loosens the dirt, moss and other deposits from the surface without using harmful chemicals.
One of the most outstanding advantages of the dry ice blasting process is its environmental friendliness. As no chemical cleaning agents are used, the risk of soil contamination or damage to plants and pets living near the building is greatly reduced. The gentle dry ice treatment also preserves the integrity of the roof surface, which is particularly important to prevent damage to waterproofing and other materials.
The efficiency of dry ice blasting technology is remarkable. Dry ice blasting enables thorough and fast cleaning, which can reduce the cost of the service. The process is able to effectively remove both organic and inorganic deposits, so that a sustainable solution for restoring the roof structure can be achieved.
Gentle cleaning with dry ice also prevents damage to the sensitive waterproofing layers, ensuring the long-term integrity of the roof.
