LIVE ROOFS

Also known as green roofs, live roofs incorporate vegetation into the roofing system, turning unused space into a functional, living landscape.

They offer both aesthetic and performance benefits. Live roofs help absorb rainwater, reduce runoff, and lessen strain on drainage systems. The vegetation layer also helps cool the building, lowering energy costs throughout the year.

In addition, soil and plants provide insulation and protect the roof membrane from UV exposure and temperature changes, helping extend the roof’s lifespan. Whether for sustainability, outdoor space, or improved appearance, green roofs are a practical, forward-thinking roofing option.

PLAZA DECK PAVER SYSTEMS

Plaza deck paver systems create a durable, attractive surface over a waterproofing layer, turning rooftops and terraces into usable outdoor spaces.

The pavers are slip-resistant, long-lasting, and available in a variety of finishes for both function and design flexibility. They also help protect the roof membrane beneath, extending the life of the roofing system.

Ideal for walkways, patios, or commercial plazas, these systems combine durability with clean architectural appeal.

LEED-CERTIFIED ROOFS

A LEED-certified roof is a sustainable roofing system designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a widely used green building rating system that recognizes buildings that meet high standards for sustainability.

In roofing, this can include reflective “cool roof” materials, recycled content, improved insulation, and better stormwater management. These systems can help lower energy costs, improve indoor comfort, and increase long-term property value while supporting environmental goals.
