Green Roofs

Green Roofs offer many benefits. 

 

They can save you money, are more energy efficient and can enhance biodiversity.

Lower your carbon footprint!

Green roofs, also known as vegetative or eco-roofs, are a layer of vegetation planted over a waterproofing system installed on top of a flat or slightly sloped roof. Green roofs can help to reduce energy costs, storm water runoff, and reduce the overall carbon footprint of your property

How long will my Green Roof Last?

Green roofs are expected to last 40-50 years. However, in many cases, they have lasted much longer.  

Green roofs in Berlin, Germany have shown they can protect roofs after 100 years with some roofs installed in 1889 still going strong.
