Green Roofs

Green roofs deliver many benefits – particularly to urban areas. They insulate and protect roofing materials, clean the air and help to counteract climate change.

Green roofs provide micro-climates for insects and bird life, and create fabulous spaces for work and leisure. A variety of imaginative and inspirational green roofs exist across the country, which vary from simple Sedum layers on single story extensions to areas of green lawn, disguising the roofs of underground car parks. They can also comprise wild flower gardens on the roofs of inner city estates; the most notable of which being the corporate oasis in Canary Wharf.
