- Air and water purification- plants turn Co2 in O2 and the soil filters water
- Longer roof life- membrane is protected from the climate and weather elements
- Sound and temperature insulation- warmer in winter, cooler in summer
- Heat reduction- plants cool the surrounding air
- Energy savings- via air-conditioning running costs
- Aesthetics- ties buildings and homes into the natural environment
- Space saving- use of the "5th wall" to provide outdoor public spaces
- 20 year product warranty
A range of roof garden systems are available which can be adapted to meet your roofing project requirements.
