It is a type of roofing which allows plant life to grow above it. For most residential housing, ‘Extensive Green Roofs’ are used to grow grasses, mosses, and herbs. For larger structures, ‘Intensive Green Roofs’ can be installed to grow shrubs, flowers, bushes, and even small trees. There is also ‘Bio Diverse Green Roofing’ in which a natural ecosystem is utilized to allow nature to take its course on your roof. These roofs are much costlier to install and maintain than traditional roofs but have a multitude of benefits that make up for their shortcomings, such as: Aesthetic Appeal: Green Roofing provides a scenic landscape in what would normally have been a dull and ordinary roof. Studies have shown that people in cities are happier when they can see ‘green’, from parks, trees, and gardens. A certain ‘closeness’ with nature can actually affect our state of happiness, especially when it comes to the places we live. Not only can this aesthetic appeal raise the value of your home, but it can also make it a more pleasant place to live in. Extra Protection From Natural Forces: The thermal layer Green Roofing provides makes for better temperature regulation inside structures that utilize it. It helps keep the inside cooler during hot sunny days, but also keeps the building warmer during rainy or snowy days. Green Roofs are able to absorb about 50-75% of rainfall thanks to the plants and the layers that keep them in place. The water slowly returns back to the environment through evaporation, thereby reducing flooding around your home. Reduction Of Greenhouse Gasses: Traditional roofing materials will absorb the sun’s rays during the day and emit them as heat during the evening. This causes urban areas to feel much warmer than areas surrounded by nature. With Green Roofing, your home is protected by plants and their growing medium. Heat is not absorbed, therefore heat radiation is mitigated. This also helps reduce the need for air conditioning in warmer climates further decreasing the release of carbon emissions. Longer Life Spans: The constant exposure of harsh Ultra Violet light from the sun’s rays contributes to the wear-and-tear of most traditional roofs, creating leaks, which will need repairs to fix. The growing medium of the plants adds an extra protection against the sun, thereby expanding the life span of your roof. Providing Additional Habitats For Plants and Animals: All over the world, the population of pollinators, which include bees, butterflies, and birds, are on a steady decline due to a loss of natural habitats. Green roofing could help provide additional places for these creatures to breed and pollinate. The presence of flowers, herbs, and other plants on rooftops may provide an extension of their natural ecosystem, therefore protecting their species. Due to their numerous benefits, Green Roofing in Duxbury is becoming a popular alternative to traditional exteriors and is being considered as an option for biodiversity schemes in several governments. |
