Imagine if green roofs were on many different buildings, looking at a patchwork of green on top of roofs would be amazing to see. The benefits of these are outstanding especially in very large cities with few parks.
There has been a large push for green roofing over the last few years. As people become more environmentally conscious, they want to reflect their ability to do their part when making decisions for replacing materials around their home. With so many green home products available, it was of no surprise that roof materials followed suit and have been gaining interest ever since.
Nice to see progress all around the world.
Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits.
