What is a Green Roof?
A green roof is usually a flat space with a specialist underlay where the surface is either partially or fully covered with plants. It is basically a flat roof garden and you can plant almost anything you like.
Plants and other greenery have been used as roofing materials stretching back to ancient times. You can choose to make a garden area on your roof combined with areas to sit and socialise. If you are a homeowner with a small area of flat roof (for example, an extension) you can choose to create a less ambitious garden that encourages biodiversity.
There are so many options to choose from. The key, however, remains the same and that is making sure the base or protective roof layer is strong enough and fully waterproof to hold the garden in the first place. Every Topseal Green Top installation is backed by our class leading 25-year materials guarantee for the waterproofing layer and a 1 year guarantee for the green roof section as supplied by a 3rd party.
The Benefits of a Green Roof
There are many benefits of installing a green roof on your property. If you have a roof space that you use regularly, it is a great way to create an attractive space that is more than just the fibreglass underlay and covering.
It is also a brilliant way to improve the local environment. Especially in city and town areas, green spaces are at a premium.
We all know that the green stuff goes a long way to help with global warming – that’s because plants like grasses, bushes and shrubs absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen as part of their biological process. They also attract all sorts of birds, insects, bees and butterflies to improve biodiversity in the area.
In addition, a green roof can help with reducing heat loss from the building below. That means you can reduce the money you spend on energy to heat your property in the winter. As long as you have access to the roof, managing the garden is just as easy as one at ground level.
