Green Roofing
One of the most popular and fastest growing ways to cover a flat roof on a
commercial building is to plant a roof garden. This is done by planting
vegetation and plants on top of a waterproofing membrane. However these
green roofing systems are not just good to look at they actually are very
energy efficient. This is because they sock up the excess heat produced by
urban life reducing the so called heat island effect. Furthermore they are
highly effective ways to insulate and protect a commercial building. This
means they can dramatically reduce energy costs and at the same time
extend the life expectancy of the roof. Something though that you should be
aware of is that you will need planning permission as well as a structural
engineer’s certificate.
