Reduce your Environmental Impact
Green roofs are designed with plant growth in mind. Being self-sufficient, they absorb rainwater and improve the local air quality by removing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They also create a peaceful and natural habitat where wildlife can thrive. Promoting biodiversity is great for anyone; whether you’re expanding your green garden or in an urban area looking to be one step closer to nature.
Protects your property
The vegetation layer is a great way to help with urban flooding. Green roofs act as a natural water retention and will absorb rainwater therefore, stormwater runoff and flooding will be significantly reduced. Not only does it protect your property from flooding, but also improves the lifespan of your roof. Soil and vegetation act as a natural insulation layer, protecting the membrane from UV radiation and temperature changes.
Reduces Urban Heat Island Effect
Green roofs can help to reduce the urban heat island effect, which is when cities experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas due to the concentration of buildings and other heat-absorbing materials. Urban heat island effect impacts cities, causing them to experience higher temperatures than rural areas due to large buildings which absorb heat. Green roofs help reduce this by providing an extra layer made from vegetation and soil which absorbs and reduces the heat from the air.
Reduces Energy Consumption
Green roofs are designed to absorb and retain heat, keeping your home cooler in the summer months and warmer in the winter months; reducing your energy costs in the process. Along with being energy efficient, they also do a great job acting as a sound barrier, reducing outside noise pollution. This is especially useful if you live near a busy road.
