Green Roof

A green roof has a variety of benefits which is what makes them so popular to homeowners, architects, and building managers. Wondering what installing a green roof will do for you? Let's take a look at some of the reasons people love them so much.
                        
1. Collects Rainwater
                        
When it rains, the water is collected by the plants on your roof, instead of immediately feeding into your gutters and sewage system. This not only helps reduce rainwater waste, it also gives the plants the water they need to thrive, for free!
                        
2. Purifies the Air
                        
The plants help to keep the air clear by "inhaling" carbon dioxide and "exhale" oxygen. This keeps the air clean for humans to breathe.
                        
3. Regulates Temperature
                        
Plants absorb sunlight and use it as food to help them grow. Up to 30% of what they absorb is reflected back out. Compared to a traditional roof which reflects 100% of sunlight, a green roof helps keep your home or building cooler, which also reduces your HVAC usage and costs.
                        
4. Reduces Noise
                        
If you live or work in a busy neighborhood, you'll appreciate that your green roof absorbs more noise than a traditional roof. This makes your bedroom, conference room, or office a much quieter place, so you can get better sleep or be more productive at work.
