Creative design and advanced technology incorporated into the development of the Tremco Green Roof System provide an engineered solution for lighter weight green roofs that ensure superior resistance to root and moisture penetration of the waterproofing membrane.

The Benefits of a Green Roof: Reduce stormwater runoff, helping to preventing raw sewage from overflowing into surface waters during large rains Enhance roof life Improve energy performance of buildings, reducing heating and cooling requirements Reduce noise Improve air quality Create a healthier environment

There are two types of Garden Roof Assemblies – Extensive and Intensive. The type of roof assembly is determined by the depth of their growing medium and species of plants.

EXTENSIVE: Extensive green roof systems have a very shallow growing medium (2-6”; 5-15cm) that supports only hardy, low growing vegetation. This system is lightweight, ranging from 15 to 35 lbs/ft (70 to 170kg/m2) and requires very little maintenance and irrigation.

INTENSIVE: Intensive systems contain a deeper growing medium allowing for a wide variety of plants and even small trees. Compared to the extensive system, this system is more garden-like. Regular maintenance and irrigation is generally required with the intensive system.
