Green Roofs

Flat roofs of suitable construction may be used to provide planted or landscaped areas which can offer a valuable amenity within the built environment. Such 'green' roofs can enhance the appearance of the building and provide additional outdoor facilities for building users.

An inverted roof with ROOFMATE™ insulation is the ideal solution for 'green' roofs where landscaping or planting is provided. The insulation boards protect the waterproof layer and the planting provides necessary ballast (Figures 21 and 22).
