What is a Green Roof?

A living roof is a roof that is covered with vegetation using a specialist growing medium.

Types of Green Roofs:

Low Maintenance Green Roof

Suitable for new or existing buildings, low maintenance green roofs are planted with Oasis sedums or Oasis wildflower mixes, creating intensive or extensive green roofs.

Why have an Oasis Green Roof?

• Reduce heating by adding mass and thermal resistance value.
• Reduce cooling loads on a building significantly – a concentration of green roofs in an urban area can reduce the city’s average temperatures during summer by mitigating the heat island effect.
• Natural habitat creation, replace what you’ve taken away.
• Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air which helps lower disease rates such as asthma.
• Help to insulate a building for sound; the growing media helps to block lower frequencies and the plants block higher frequencies.
• With green roofs, the water stored in the substrate and the water retention system is taken up by the plants from where it is returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation.
• Green roofs not only retain rainwater, but also moderate the temperature of the water and act as natural filters for any of the water that may run off.
