Why install a green roof? What are the benefits?
A living green roof has a myriad of advantages:
- It's of enormous value to the environment - attracting wildlife, helping to improve air quality, supporting biodiversity and reducing rainwater runoff.
- A green roof will help to insulate a building against heat and cold, thus reducing fuel bills and carbon footprints.
- The layers of growing medium and vegetation protect the waterproofing from UV light, considerably reducing the need for roof repairs
