In addition to their undeniable aesthetic appeal, green roofs aid greatly in air and water quality improvement. This is done through oxygen production and CO2 reduction, stormwater runoff management, water filtration and nitrification. Another major asset of green roofs is energy conservation, as they significantly reduce heating and cooling needs.
A key component of our modular tray system is a patented drainage media with proven water filtration capabilities. This light weight media has optimal structure and density for water flow and mineral capture. This material also allows quick and easy installation, and cuts and bends easily for custom design options. {Photo: Curious Kids' Discovery Zone - St. Joseph, MI}
A clear benefit of green roofs is the unique and unexpected beauty they add to the structures they adorn. For large or small areas, green roofs are applicable in both commercial and residential settings. Now even people without a yard or a green thumb can fully enjoy a new concept in gardening and "green" living.
