Growing evergreen, self generating, drought resistant plants such as grasses or sedums on your roof can benefit the environment and improve the insulation of your property.  This type of roof construction is best suited to flat roofs and those pitched at angles of less than 35 degrees. 

 

Green Roof Systems help keep the building cool during warm weather by reducing heat absorption and assist noise reduction through a better acoustic performance.  As everyone knows, hard construction material such as roof tiles, concrete paving etc, discharge water very quickly into an urban drainage system, and then eventually into our rivers. Green roofs can retain a very high percentage of rainwater and provide a slow and controlled water run-off.
