Green Roof Benefits

Extended Roof Life

GreenRoofs are shown to triple the life expectancy of the roof. The underlying materials are protected from weather damage, UV radiation and extreme temperatures resulting in reduced maintenance costs.

Rainwater Retention

Run-off storm water is reduced by 70-95%, decreasing the burden on sewer systems and reducing the risk of flooding.

Rainwater Purification

Using natural bio-filtration, GreenRoofs prevent contaminants & toxins from reaching streams and waterways. 95% of lead, copper and cadmium sulphide and 19% of the zinc in rainwater remains in the substrate layers of the living roof, which helps improve local water quality.

CO2 Reduction

GreenRoofs help reduce the amount of CO2 in the air, which is one of the most important causes of global warming. 1m2 of a green roof can absorb 5kg of CO2 yearly. Also, due to the buildings reduction in energy use, they have a further impact on carbon dioxide reduction by 3.2kg yearly.

Cleaner Air

The Sedum plants on GreenRoofs systems also capture airborne particles (Particulate Matter) from the local atmosphere. This has a positive effect on air quality and health. 1m2 of a green roof can absorb 0.2kg of airborne particles from the air every year.

Noise Reduction

Our GreenRoofs system provides good sound insulation. It keeps the living space quieter and creates more pleasant surroundings in urban areas and contributes to noise reduction in cities, near industrial areas & airports.

Natural Habitat

GreenRoofs provide a habitat for various species and help restore the ecological cycle disrupted by urban infrastructure. Improving biodiversity in urban settings.

Natural Look

The natural character of GreenRoofs provides relief from the concrete construction in urban areas. Adding green areas in urban settings is proven to have a relaxing phycological effect which helps reduce blood pressure & they also increase property values.
