About green roofs
A green roof is usually a flat roof that has plants growing in a thin layer of soil, and works much the same as any roof: protecting the building from the cold and heat, snow and rain, is its primary job. Green roofs can be laid in pieces, grown in plastic modules or on sheets similar to sod.
Various cultures established breathtaking green roofs thousands of years ago, but green roofing has garnered greater attention and acceptance over the last several decades. Today we have a multitude of options, extensive green roofs can support beautiful plants utilizing as little as 6 cm of soil and intensive green roofs can be built to provide new green spaces for people and a home for the largest of trees.
