Extensive Green Roofs

Extensive green roofs transform rooftops into functional and eco-friendly green spaces, offering numerous environmental and practical benefits. These lightweight systems require minimal maintenance and can be installed without the need for heavy load-bearing roof constructions, making them ideal for retrofitting and new builds alike.

What Are Extensive Green Roofs?

Extensive green roofs are designed with a thin layer of soil or growth medium, typically supporting drought-tolerant vegetation such as sedum, moss, and other succulents. These plants thrive in challenging conditions, providing natural insulation and reducing urban heat island effects.

• Sedum Roofs: A popular choice, sedum-covered roofs are durable and visually appealing, contributing to biodiversity and stormwater management.
• Lightweight Design: Compared to intensive green roofs, extensive systems are significantly lighter, enabling installation on a wide variety of structures.

Extensive green roofs are more than just sustainable—they enhance urban spaces by reducing stormwater runoff, improving air quality, and creating habitats for pollinators. With Protan’s certified roofing solutions, you can create green roofs that are safe, durable, and environmentally responsible.
