Green Roof

A VEGETATED ROOF: AN INNOVATIVE AND MODERN CHOICE

It’s important to stay current and embrace unconventional solutions. Vegetated roofs are becoming an increasingly popular option, offering numerous benefits. They are innovative and aesthetically appealing while providing environmental advantages. Green roofs also have insulating and thermal properties and help prevent flooding by retaining significant amounts of water. Additionally, this type of roofing supports eco-friendly living by allowing you to filter rainwater for reuse in domestic applications such as irrigation or toilets.

NO NEED TO HIRE A GARDENER

Contrary to popular belief, you can have a green roof without becoming a full-time gardener! Depending on the type of vegetated roof you choose, maintenance can be minimal. Options include extensive, semi-intensive, or intensive green roofs. Extensive green roofs require limited and simple maintenance, whereas semi-intensive and intensive roofs need more regular and thorough upkeep. The latter two types are generally suitable for new constructions that can support greater weight.

A SAFE AND BENEFICIAL ROOFING CHOICE

When installed and designed by professionals, vegetated roofs pose no risk and do not cause particular problems. The key is to work with experts who know precisely which type of insulation, support, and substrate to use. Toitures PME has developed extensive expertise in vegetated roofing over the years.
