Hynam Construction can install a Green Roof for your property. But why choose a Green Roof? Take a look at the benefits below.

​

Increased Roof Life

The life expectancy of a "naked" flat roof is only 15 to 25 years, even with professional installation. This is due to the physical, chemical and biological stress on the roof /waterproofing over the years.
UV-radiation and high Ozone ratios accelerate the ageing process of the waterproofing; which results in shrinking, cracks, and leakage. Green Roofs provide protection for all of these problems, reducing the cost to you the consumer over time. The vegetation layer buffers the temperature stress during hot summers In addition, the Green Roof creates a protection layer for the waterproofing in case of mechanical damage like hurricanes, high wind, excess rainfall, and even fireworks.

​

Reduced Noise Levels

Green Roofs reduce sound reflection by up to 3 dB and improve sound insulation by up to 8 dB. This is important for people who live near airports or industrial parks. Additionally, electromagnetic waves from transmitting stations can be effectively shielded by the vegetation layer.

​

Energy Conservation & Cooler Temperatures

Green roof systems provide greater thermal performance and roof insulation for the buildings they are laid on.
Poorly protected and insulated roofs can lead to substantial overheating of spaces beneath them. This can lead to the need for increased air-conditioning. A green roof not only acts as an insulation barrier, but the combination of plant processes [photosynthesis and evapotranspiration] and soil processes [evapo-transmission] reduces the amount of energy absorbed by the roof membrane,leading to cooler temperatures beneath the surface.
