A green roof, also known as a living roof or vegetated roof, is a roofing system that incorporates a layer of vegetation planted over a waterproofing membrane. It’s essentially a garden on your roof, offering a wide range of environmental, economic, and social benefits.

Why Choose a Green Roof?
Discover the Advantages
Want to Reduce Energy Costs?
Green roofs provide excellent insulation, reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, leading to lower energy bills.
Concerned About Stormwater Runoff?
Green roofs absorb rainwater, reducing the strain on municipal sewer systems and mitigating the risk of flooding.
Seeking to Improve Air Quality?
The plants on a green roof filter pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide, contributing to cleaner air.
Looking to Enhance Your Building's Aesthetics?
Green roofs create beautiful, natural spaces, adding visual appeal and increasing property value.
Want to Create a Habitat for Wildlife?
Green roofs provide valuable habitat for birds, insects, and other wildlife, promoting biodiversity in urban environments.
