Cost Saving
- Reduced energy costs
- Reduced maintenance costs
Environment
Provides a habitat for a rich variety of fauna and flora species
Water Retention
70 - 90% of precipitation is retained within the green roof, thus reducing water run-off
Climate
- Prevents sealed surface heat build-up
- No reflected heat
- Slow evaporation of rainwater
- Cools building in summer and insulates in winter
Air Conditioning
- The Roofgreening provides natural airconditioning of the building even in high temperatures. This leads to environmental and ecological benefits
Low Weight
A BBS Fully Grown NutriMat system is one of the lightest available - 56KG/m2 fully saturated
Long Life
Extends the life of your roof by:
- reducing roof surface temperature
- protecting from UV radiation
- protecting from damage caused by hail, storm and downpour
Recreation
A useful, recreational space for roof gardens or roof terraces
Sound Protection
Helps reduce noise levels being transmitted through roofs
Radiation Protection
Scientific tests have proved that roof greening shields against radiation
Dust Reduction
The vegetation absorbs between 10-20% of airborne dust and toxic particles
The BBS Green Roofing® advantage
- Visually attractive with a wide range of ecosystems; from sedum to woodland habitats.
- Low maintenance with little or no artificial irrigation requirements.
- Improved rainwater management. Volume and rate of rainwater run off from the roof is dramatically reduced.
- Improved thermal performance of buildings. The building is kept warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- Reduction in sound transmission through the roof.
- Improvement of air quality, absorption of organic volatiles and release of oxygen and water vapour.
- Reduction of the 'urban heat island effect'.
- Provision of habitats for wildlife.
