Green Roofing

Green RoofingGreen roofs, sometimes referred to as a “Living Roof,” are an innovative way for commercial customers to enhance not only their property but also the air and environment around them. These roofs are just as they sound: green! A growing medium or vegetation of some kind is installed over several layers of protection and waterproofing, similar to standard commercial roofing materials, so you’re not compromising function or durability. In fact, green roofs have many additional benefits to standard bitumen and multi-ply systems. Much like solar roofing, green roofing is a fantastic way to harness natural elements in a way that actually enhances your commercial property and can even lower your energy bills! Burell Built Roofing, LLC is proud to bring our commercial customers green roofing in Knoxville, TN, and Chattanooga, TN.

Benefits of Green Roofing

While green roofs are relatively new within the US, many areas of the world have been enjoying the benefits of this eco-friendly option for years. Their popularity has grown rapidly, and an investment in green roofing could mean significant resale appeal for your commercial property. Roof Systems

Consider the benefits of green roofs…

  • Aesthetically Appealing – Improve those rooftop views and even create additional usable space.
  • Air Purification – Plants and vegetation will capture or filter airborne pollutants and noxious gasses.
  • Energy Efficient – Insulation offered by rooftop greenery will reduce stress on air conditioning and cooling systems, especially when exposed to extreme climates.
  • Increased Durability – The protective layer of vegetation prevents stress to the waterproofing membranes, reducing wear and environmental stress on the underlying, core structures that protect the roof.
  • Storm Water Management – Because the material absorbs and utilizes stormwater, there will be less of a burden on runoff and sewer systems.

There is a lot of potential with green roofs, and we anticipate that the demand for and perceived value of this system for commercial roofing will continue to soar.
