3 Types of Green Roofs

December 11, 2018 by Jesse Curry

A green roof can help you improve overall air quality and reduce water damage. You have several options for commercial green roofs, so you must determine which is the right one for your building.

3 Types of Green Roofs

Roofing by Curry, the leading roof repair company, discusses the three types of green roofs.

Intensive Green Roof

The intensive green roof delivers stunning park-like results. This type of green roof often sports trees, shrubs and large plants. However, the intensive green roof also demands intricate structural planning to create.

Before installing it, you must consider irrigation, maintenance and plant selection. You shouldn’t have plants with aggressive roots since they could penetrate the roof membrane and cause structural damage.

For a safe and secure intensive green roof, you should work closely with a company that understands this type of roofing system. Roofing by Curry is one of the leading roofing contractors when it comes to specialized commercial roofs

Extensive Green Roof

An extensive green roof has the benefits of an intensive one, without the heavy landscape and garden appeal. The plants used in this type of green roof are mostly sedum varieties. Thanks to its simplicity, it costs less to build than an intensive green roof.

The main benefit of this green roof type is how it suits both new and old buildings in different climates, unlike an intensive green roof, which isn’t advisable for low-rise and old buildings.

Semi-Intensive Green Roof

The common ground between the previous two types is a semi-intensive green roof. This means it doesn’t have the most complicated installation procedure, but it still includes a wide variety of plants. It’s the happy middle for building owners who are conflicted about which type of green roof they should install.
