What Are The Benefits of Green Roofs
Green roofs only appeared a few years ago, but they are already among the most popular roofing solutions available. Here are the benefits offered by the solution to account for that popularity:
- Durability and resistance to the elements – green roofs are very similar to rooftop gardens, they are practically roof surfaces covered entirely in drought-resistant vegetation. The type of Centennial roofing system consists of multiple layers of material and includes a strong decking, a layer of soil into which the vegetation is planted, an irrigation system and special, very efficient drainage. The complex structure ensures high durability and weather-resistance;
- Superior insulation properties – green roofing systems provide excellent insulation against heat, cold, moisture as well as sound. With a green roof, your building will be less noisy, it will be cooler in summer and warmer in winter and your energy bills will also be kept low;
- Aesthetic benefits – green roofs confer a uniquely attractive appearance to any building;
- Improved air quality – the vegetation on your green roof will ensure that the air inside your home is cleaner and healthier to breathe, it will clean the air around your building as well and it will slightly reduce the temperature around your building, too, making your yard and garden more enjoyable.
