Why Choose a Green Roof System?

Think of a typical commercial roof on a hot summer day. Does it seem like a pleasant place to be? Typical commercial roofs are forests of HVAC units and pipes and the surface is either asphalt, plastic, or rubber. These materials are designed to repel nature and protect the building underneath by creating an impervious suit of armor.

On the other hand, a green roof becomes one with the environment. Green roofs or rooftop gardens absorb heat instead of reflecting it. They provide natural insulation for buildings instead of an artificial one. While they are not simple or cheap, the reasons a business would invest in a green roof system are simple: lower energy costs and environmental consciousness. A living roof can last in its current state for more than 60 years with active preventative maintenance—when managed properly with the right roofing partner, they can last longer than the building itself.

Green Roof Design

A well-designed green roof system is an extension of the existing roof that combines high-quality waterproofing, an impenetrable root repellent system, a high-tech drainage system, lightweight growing medium, and beneficial plants to create a natural, sustainable roof surface.
