Green roofs maximise the use of otherwise wasted roof space.

 

Establishing plants on a roof can bring many benefits:

  • improved views
  • new open space
  • a home for nature
  • absorbing rainfall and reducing the burden on waste water infrastructure
  • making rooms below cooler and more comfortable

 

There are many types of green roof – from parks and gardens to private terraces, meadows or other wildlife habitats.
