Green roofs work by creating a roofing surface that allows for vegetation to grow and water to drain through. They absorb rainwater through the build-up of plants, soil, and drainage layer down to the waterproofing membrane and substrate.

Green roofs are not a new concept, but they have grown in popularity over the past decade as people aim to achieve more sustainable construction projects and utilise previously unused spaces, such as flat roofs.

Green roofs offer tangible benefits for end users, inhabitants, owners and the greater community. They can range from economic and ecological to social and aesthetic reasons.
