Green Roof
Taking sustainability and low carbon construction to a new high level
Our range of green roofing systems provides choice to the specifier not just of the green roof itself, but also the roofing systems that support the green roofs. Both SpeedZip® & SpeedDeck® aluminum standing seam systems manufactured in long continuous sheet lengths have been used to ensure the integrity of the roof below the green roofing systems.
Over the last decade, we have seen tremendous growth in the use of green roofing systems, providing a roof construction that reduces carbon emissions, removes pollutants, reduces the stress on drainage systems, creating clean environments and improving local ecologies.
There are a number of green roofing systems that be incorporated into our aluminum standing seam systems as follows:
- LivingRoof Sedum Mat Green Roofing
- LivingRoof Wild Meadow Flower Green Roofing
- LivingRoof Brown Roofing
