Vegetated RoofsAt Simon Roofing we pride ourselves on being an innovative commercial roofing partner to clients. This means we stay at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies and new developments in the commercial roofing industry. One of the latest trends to take root — vegetated roofing — offers clients a green roofing alternative that is low maintenance and beautiful. In addition to the basic properties of a commercial roof, vegetated roofs can also be used by businesses and employees as an outdoor retreat. Instead of laying down a roof membrane, gravel ballast and shingles, a vegetated roof uses plants and inorganic and organic growth media. Our vegetated roofing systems use a single or multi-ply waterproofing layer, drainage and growing media and plants to cover the entire roof deck. While vegetated roofs are lower maintenance, they do still require a semi-annual maintenance review by a roofing expert. With many options from extensive and intensive, to organic and inorganic, a member of Simon Roofing’s Sustainability Department can help you learn all of your options.
