In some ways, a green roof is like any other roof. It absorbs the impact of the elements so your building doesn’t have to. Green roofs, though, add several key benefits. The difference begins with the materials: a green roof employs a durable waterproofing membrane, drainage, a growing medium, and of course the plants. These ingredients can combine in a variety of ways, leaving you to decide what your green roof will look like and how you will use it. Not only do these roofs outperform conventional ones in terms of utility and durability, they are also an opportunity for art, design, and beauty in the form of living architecture. The sky is literally the limit when you build a green roof!
A green roof is also an investment - in your building, your community and your city. Take back your unused square footage. Make an energy smart renovation for your building. Attract forward thinking renters and tenants. These are all the reasons why green roofs are catching on so fast. So let's leave our mark on New York City, and let’s make it a green one!
