Green Roof Systems

Benefits

Green roofs offer several benefits including:

• Improved Property Value – Planted roof areas increase the 'permeable to hard-stand’ ratio on building sites and allow the creation of utilizable commercial and recreational roof gardens and terrace areas.
• Improved Environment – plant species minimize greenhouse gas emissions, pollutants are adsorbed onto growth media particles and plant species provide a habitat for a diverse range of fauna
• Reduced Energy Costs – radiation is minimized and growth media insulation ensures cooler buildings in the summer and warmer buildings in winter
• Reduced Maintenance – roofing materials and waterproofing membranes are protected against UV degradation, hail and storm conditions
• Better Sound Protection – inter level noise transfer is minimized
• Water retention – precipitation is retained on site reducing run-off to storm water systems
