Green roofs, or more commonly known as roof gardens normally consists of a variety of waterproofing membrane layers followed by a top layer of sedum. Sedum is essentially the ‘plant’ of the roof, the foliage as a more common term. The benefits of installing such systems is vital for contributing to becoming ‘greener’.

Moreover, green roofs help filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air, promoting good air quality which greatly helps in manufacturing industry where large multi-national organisations are faced with potential fines if they do not keep in line with their yearly cO2 quota.

Further to this, roof gardens last a long time and can have additional bolt ons making it truly an ecological project for any building. Such technological advancements include the likes of installing a water filtration system that filters rainwater through the top layer of sedum which is then passed through a processing device which enables office works to safely drink rainwater.
