  • Low maintenance
  • Flexible, easily shaped to fit around roof top objects, can cut circular patterns.
  • Can be dismantled and reassembled in sections
  • Can handle sloped (<20 degrees) or flat roof tops
  • Lightweight suitable for commercial, industrial and residential.
  • Locally grown for your region
  • Because it is pre-grown it eliminates plant establishment costs and maintenance.
  • Can be fitted for undulations
  • 100% flexibility for any application
  • Weighs approx. 12-15 lbs per sf saturated
  • Ideal for roofs with a low load bearing capacity
  • We are a sustainable resource company
  • Inexpensive...Less per sf than a brick patio or walkway.
  • DYK over 65% post-consumer recycled materials!
  • The drainage carrier has a built in water reservoir with overflow, preventing the plants and growing media from drying out.
  • In addition the moisture retention mat / root stabilizer and growing media naturally wicks water horizontally, the other system simply lets the water drain!
  • Unlike natural fiber mats (Hemp) the Green Living™ Roof moisture retention will not breakdown over time.

Other Layered Systems

Other Layered Systems
 
  • Requires multiple layers of material (Primer, Ruberized Asphalt, Root Block, Insulation, Filter Fabric, Growing Media, Plant Material)
  • Installation permanently attached to existing roof, making roof repair a costly expense
  • Increased installation cost due to nature of supplies and labor
  • Increased maintenance cost due to imature plant material, almost an additional $2.00 per sq. foot.
  • Increased labor to manually plant material
  • Adds excess weight of materials to roof
  • Can not be applied to some existing roofs
  • Installation time is doubled and tripled
  • DYK that most of the other green roof companies are really waterproofing companies? They want to sell you new membranes for your roof.
  • DYK other layered systems can cost from $25.00+ per sf?
  • DYK to fix your roof you would have to tear apart the entire green roof. With a Green Living Technologies system you simply remove the panels fix your roof and replace them!
  • Does this company do a water leak test? Account for a structural engineer to evaluate the roof load capacity? Designate point loading?
  • Does not have a drainage layer with the ability to hold water! This system requires consistent watering and irrigation.
