Key features & benefits

A Green Roof system looks great while being good for the environment.

If you want to create a building that sits comfortably within the landscape, or you want to bring nature into areas where normally concrete and asphalt prevail, a living roof system provides the solution.

Green roof systems are equally applicable on office towers, discrete rural properties, hospitals or for podium areas above carparks. Hard construction materials discharge water very quickly, reducing effective evaporation and loading the drainage systems. Roof gardens retain a very high percentage of rainwater and provide slow, controlled water run-off.

Green roofs can improve the acoustics and thermal properties of the building while also providing additional natural environment space for recreational and leisure purposes. Green roofs can significantly increase the life of the waterproofing membrane, protecting it from UV degradation, physical damage and the extremes of climatic conditions.
