Green roofing is basically a single ply layer covered by a living roof. Green Roofing boasts a whole host of benefits including:
- Ecological - cools the air and produces oxygen.
- Increased Life expectancy - Waterproofings can last for over 40 years, when a green roof is installed.
- Reduces heating bills – adds to thermal insulation and reduces the need for conventional insulation.
- Reduces water run-off by up to 80%. Rainwater is kept in the natural water cycle which helps reduce sewerage and storm water management costs.
- Makes better use of the roof space.
- Offers additional space for leisure activities.
- Filters and binds dust and other harmful materials out of the city air.
- Improves the microclimate by cooling and humidifying the surrounding air.
- Reduces Noise - Due to the soft plant level of green roofs sound is absorbed instead of reflected
- Environmentally Friendly
