Green Roof

The advantages of a implementing a green roof are;

• Rainwater is absorbed, reducing water run-off quantities by up to 75% (Up to 40,000 litres of run-off is shed from an average roof each year)
• Provide insulation, reducing heating and energy bills
• The building will be kept cooler during summer months
• Enhance sound insulation for the building
• Increase the lifespan of the roof
• Low maintenance, requiring once-yearly feeding and minimum attention
• Create a habitat for wildlife - attracting beneficial insects, birds, bees and butterflies
