Go Green With Your Roof

Are you thinking of ‘going green’ and installing a green roof?

Whether you want to majorly boost your environmental credentials, look to make serious cost savings over time, benefit from a 50 year average life expectancy or take advantage of numerous other benefits, a green roof is for you.

As an introduction to green roofs, there are three available types requiring varying degrees of maintenance. These are:

1. High maintenance intensive roofs – replicate a ground level garden and provide a new outdoor space (e.g. a full roof garden)

2. Low maintenance extensive roofs – feature low growing plants and a sedum blanket for instant greening

3. Non maintenance bio-diverse roofs – require zero maintenance and use a local aggregate which colonises naturally. Bio-diverse roofs recreate pre-existing ground eco-systems.

Why choose a green roofing system?

Green roofs are an increasingly popular type of roofing system which offers a variety of benefits to home and business owners alike – these include:

• Creates a new leisure space
• Increases energy efficiency
• Provides additional thermal insulation to the property
• Offers a level of sound proofing
• Mitigates the heat island effect
• Removes CO2 from the atmosphere
• Adds value to the property
• Is visually pleasing and does not blight the landscape
