Also known as a living roof, a green roof is a flat roofing deck covered with vegetation. They can be left as versions of raised lawns or filled with flowers to encourage local wildlife. Where possible, they can also be accessed for recreation purposes.
Our roofing company installs green roofs for commercial clients and homeowners, as well as roof and chimney repairs.
There are two types of green roofs- intensive and extensive. Intensive systems are primarily used for recreation and resemble gardens and parklands. These will have shrubs and trees, paving, and water features.
Alternatively, extensive green roofs are created to promote biodiversity. As a result, you may also hear them referred to as brown roofs. They are more common in urban locations.
As construction takes priority in urban areas, the amount of green space in Oxshott and the surrounding areas is severely limited. As a result, it makes sense to utilise alternative areas to provide environmental platforms for natural vegetation and biodiversity.
Green roofs also absorb rainwater, preventing pooling issues that can occur on poorly installed flat roofs. Their protection also helps to increase the roof's lifespan, saving you the cost of emergency roof repairs or a new roof.
For Surrey Roofing Specialists’ clients, the main benefits are available year-round. In warmer climates, these flat roofing systems will absorb sunlight, keeping the interior of your property relatively cool. During the winter months, the roof acts as natural insulation, preventing heat from escaping.
Green roof installations are also fire-resistant.
If you’re interested in a new roofing system, why not call our roofing company and find out just how attractive and environmentally friendly our green roofs can be? Just as with our roof surveys, chimney repointing, chimney repairs, roof leak repairs, and emergency roof repairs, our pitched and flat roof installations include professional, informed service.
