Green Roof Systems
As society becomes more eco-conscious, green roofs have experienced a surge in popularity, especially where commercial and industrial buildings are concerned. Not only are they friendly to the environment, they have a unique, eye-catching appearance and are a popular alternative to flat roofing.
The benefits of green roof systems are plentiful. They require minimal maintenance, which is always a good thing. Because plants absorb the energy transmitted by the sun, this has the impact of reducing the temperature of the roof during warm weather, while being thermally efficient in the colder months.
Also referred to as living roofs or eco roofs, they have been praised for adding green space in urban areas.
