Green Roofs

What is a Green Roof System?

A green roof, also known as a living roof or sedum roof, is a roof that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium. It is usually planted over a waterproofing membrane.

Green Roofs Features & Benefits

• Low Maintenance: Extensive green roofs have shallow soil layers with low-maintenance plants like sedums. Drought-tolerant, self-sustaining plants are chosen that can thrive in the harsh, exposed rooftop environment.
• Enhancing Biodiversity: The sedum plants from MobiRoof ECO contribute to biodiversity.
• Easy Installation: The modular vegetation trays that make up the green roof system are designed to interlock with each other for quick and easy installation.
• Stormwater Management: Sedum roofs absorb and retain significant amounts of rainfall that would otherwise run off the roof. This alleviates stormwater drainage infrastructure.  
• Insulating and Sound Absorbing: The vegetation provides insulation and reduces temperature fluctuations, protecting the roof membrane. This can reduce building energy costs.  

Green Roof Installation 

Green Roof System can be easily installed on both flat and slightly sloping roofs, please see our Living Roof Installation Guide to learn more.
