Green roofing systems are environmentally friendly, vegetative systems. Their purpose is to create a natural, aesthetic layer on top of your roof.
What is a Green Roof?
Green roofs typically use sedum, a highly versatile flowering plant, among other types of outdoor vegetation to create a green, natural alternative to a standard flat roofing membrane.
Why Choose a Green Roof?
There are a variety of benefits to owning a green roof. Some of these are listed below:
- Energy efficient: additional layers on top of your roof offer increased insulation and therefore thermal protection
- Noise reduction: the extra layer of vegetation creates additional insulation from noise
- Increased roof life: green roofing systems add a layer of protection to your roof, ultimately shielding it from harmful a variety of stressors
- Natural aesthetics: green roofs look great and give your building a ‘green’, sustainable and environmentally friendly brand
- Improved storm water control; reduced overflow of rainwater during downpours
- Low maintenance: twice-annual maintenance is recommended to ensure sedum health, and usually involves watering and debris removal
