Comprehensive Green Roofing Solutions
Extensive Green Roofs
Ideal for lightweight, low-maintenance coverage. These systems feature shallow growing media and robust, drought-tolerant plants like sedums, perfect for large, inaccessible rooftops seeking eco-benefits without intensive upkeep.
Intensive Green Roofs
Transform rooftops into accessible gardens and recreational spaces. With deeper soil, intensive green roofs support a wider variety of plants, including shrubs and small trees, creating vibrant urban oases.
Modular Green Roof Systems
Offering superior flexibility and ease of installation, modular systems come in pre-vegetated trays. This approach simplifies maintenance and allows for design versatility, making them perfect for various roof types.
Blue-Green Roof Systems
These advanced systems seamlessly combine water retention capabilities with vibrant vegetation. They are engineered to effectively manage stormwater runoff while concurrently providing all the ecological benefits of a green roof.
Solar-Green Roof Combinations
Maximizing rooftop potential, these integrated solutions pair solar photovoltaic systems with green roofs. This synergy not only enhances energy production efficiency but also adds ecological value to your property.
Environmental Impact and Performance Benefits
Stormwater Management
Green roofs significantly reduce and slow stormwater runoff, lessening strain on urban drainage systems and mitigating flood risk. They can retain up to 70% of rainfall during peak events.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation
By absorbing sunlight and cooling through evapotranspiration, green roofs can lower ambient temperatures by up to 10°C, significantly reducing the urban heat island effect.
Improved Air Quality
Vegetation on green roofs naturally filters airborne pollutants and particulate matter, contributing to cleaner, healthier air in urban environments.
Energy Efficiency Gains
The insulating properties of green roofs can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20%, maintaining more stable indoor temperatures year-round.
Biodiversity Enhancement
Green roofs create new habitats for a variety of plant and insect species, fostering urban biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems.
