ROOFING: Common Questions About Green Roofs
January 27, 2008
We don’t cover the topic of “green roofs” that often at GetWithGreen.com. Our focus is on the more common upgrade to your existing roof, while doing it with products that are more eco-friendly than asphalt for example. We do get questions from time to time about “green roofs”, and when we found this interesting article we thought we should share it with you.
The team over at Facility Blog recently wrote about the topic, and their write-up is a quick read that answers some of the most common questions about a green roof (e.g. How often do you water it? Will it make my roof leak?). The article is focused more on buildings, but we believe it is still educational for most GetWithGreen.com homeowners who have an interest in green roofs. Take a look at Common Questions About Green Roofs.

my parents got stuck with one of those cheap-for-developer, expensive-for-buyer houses with a FLAT ROOF.
TG roofs suck–you have to replace them with more petro-tar bitumen and gravel every 10-12 years.
So i’m looking at building a pitched roof.. the type it should have had to begin with! It’ll cost 40-50k but will never have to install another roof again!!
If I can’t plant plants or PV cells on it, too bad. but at least the house won’t cave in from the top.
just a tip for all of you with TG roofs…
