LIVE ROOFS
Also known as green roofs, live roofs integrate vegetation directly into the roofing system, transforming unused roof space into a living, functional landscape.
Beyond their natural beauty, live roofs deliver measurable performance benefits. They help manage stormwater by absorbing rainfall, reducing runoff, and easing pressure on drainage systems. The vegetation layer also reduces heat absorption, naturally cooling the building and lowering energy costs year-round. In addition, the soil and plants act as insulation, improving indoor comfort while shielding the roof membrane from UV rays and temperature swings—extending the life of the roof itself. Whether designed for sustainability goals, outdoor gathering spaces, or simply enhancing the building’s appearance, live roofs are a forward-thinking investment in both your property and the environment.
PLAZA DECK PAVER SYSTEMS
Plaza deck paver systems create a functional and attractive surface above a waterproofing layer, turning rooftops and terraces into usable outdoor spaces. These pavers are durable, slip-resistant, and available in a variety of finishes, giving you both style and strength. In addition to adding value to your property, plaza decks help protect the roof membrane underneath, extending the system’s life. Whether you’re designing a pedestrian walkway, rooftop patio, or commercial plaza, these systems offer a versatile solution that combines performance with architectural appeal.
LEED-CERTIFIED ROOFS
A LEED-certified roof is a sustainable roofing solution designed to improve your building’s efficiency and environmental performance. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system, and earning certification means your building meets strict standards for sustainability, energy savings, and environmental responsibility.
In roofing, this often involves using reflective or “cool roof” materials to lower energy costs, incorporating recycled or recyclable materials, and ensuring proper insulation and stormwater management. These systems don’t just benefit the environment—they can reduce long-term operating costs, improve occupant comfort, and even increase your property’s value.
