Should I Install a Green Roof?
A green roof, also known as a “living roof” is comprised of vegetation that is planted over a waterproof roof membrane. In addition to enhancing a home or business in Apache Junction, R & S Foam Roofing LLC designs an eco roof to provide efficient roof drainage to reduce storm water runoff preserving siding and gutter systems that can also serve as an additional food source. In addition to providing an additional habitat for wildlife, studies have indicated that energy efficient roofing also reduces stress through the additional greenspace available in the midst of a concrete urban atmosphere.
Urban Heat Effect
Aside from these and other benefits, one of the most notable advantages of a green roof system is its ability to mitigate the “heat island effect’ or “urban heat effect” defined as an urban area that is prone to higher temperatures due to a more dense population and the heat from the sun that becomes trapped by concrete, glass and paved roads. Countless studies have shown that the plants on a green roof system function naturally to filter air and rainwater that results in cooler urban areas overall. Extensive research has shown that if more property owners invested in a green roofing system particularly in densely populated cities, the average temperature would significantly drop in the hottest urban areas.
