Green Walls

Green Roofs are vegetated roofs, or roofs with vegetated spaces. They are also referred to as eco-roofs and roof gardens. Green roofs have been with us for centuries ranging from the hanging gardens of Babylon to the turf roofed dwellings of Ireland and Scandinavia. However, modern green roofs have largely developed in the last 50 years, with increasing sophistication to meet a growing range of needs both commercially and environmentally.

Plants reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and produce oxygen Green roofs reduce the ‘heat island effect', which is the main cause of ozone production Plant roofs remove heavy metals, airborne particles and volatile organic compounds, being absorbed into the green roof system these polluting particles do not enter the water system through surface run off leading to improvement in water quality.

Economics - green roofs reduce the need for air conditioning or heating so they save money; Feel Good factor - green roofs look good in any work or home environment and encourage wildlife; Environmental - reduction of Water run-off (SUDS), CO2 and oxygen replenishment; Planning requirements - many types of council now insist on the inclusion of green roofs in building developments.
