Green (Vegetated) Roofs

With increased desire and requirements to make buildings perform sustainably, green roofs have become a “growing" option in the industry. Green roofs are planted areas on flat or sloped roofs. Conventional gardens on rooftops generally consist of a few pots and planters. Green roof systems can cover the whole roof area with the cultivation of plant life, including planters. These areas can also be used as a place of enjoyment or recreation. Sika's durable, sustainable, and advanced roofing/waterproofing systems are a solution to make green roofs and planters possible.
