A green roof or a living roof is made of vegetation and the soil necessary for its growth – both installed over a system of waterproofing membranes. The system may also include materials that do not allow roots` penetration, as well as drainage and irrigation systems.

Here are 5 ways to turn your flat roof into a rooftop paradise:

• Intensive rooftop garden – If the resistance structure of the building and the microclimate allow, a green roof can be arranged as a garden in the true sense of the word, to bring you closer to nature, where you can admire the development of vegetation planted by you.
• Intensive rooftop landscaping – This type of roof has a high decorative value, and can include all the landscaping elements (streams, paths, gardens etc.).
• Green deck terrace with pedestrian access – This type of green roof is often intended for recreational or leisure purposes. With the help of floating floor systems such as deck, wood or composite on the support of beams or adjustable plots, you can arrange alleys, perfectly horizontal terraces for tables or benches, which will give the whole space an extra functionality.
• Bio-solar green roof with solar panels – The installation of photovoltaic panels in a rooftop garden brings you one step closer to having an ecological construction.
• Extensive lightweight green roof – Unlike the intensive live roof system, this ultra-light system can be installed on sloped surfaces, with inclinations of up to 45 degrees.  For all your roofing options look locally to Longmont roofing experts that have been in business for a long time.
