Green Roofs
Green roofs enhance both the sustainability and aesthetics of your building. Expertise is crucial for the successful installation and maintenance of a green roof, so it is important to choose a contractor with solid references.
Extensive green roofs
An extensive green roof consists of a thin layer of vegetation and a large amount of substrate. It is relatively lightweight, easy to install, and requires minimal maintenance. There are several types of extensive green roofs:
Green roof with vegetation mats- Green roof with cassettes
- Green roof with sown sedum cuttings
- Green roof with sown sedum cuttings
Intensive green roofs
An intensive green roof is a roof vegetation system that consists of a thicker layer of substrate and a wide variety of plants. It requires more maintenance and irrigation than an extensive green roof.
Intensive green roofs can vary from a roof garden to a fully accessible green space with shrubs and trees. Due to the variety of plants and the thicker substrate layer, the weight can be high. This should be considered in the design of the building.
