Putting a garden on your roof is a great way to make better use of city space, protect the environment and save money long term. These vegetative or garden roofs – a roof area of plantings installed above a waterproofing membrane – have become very successful on rooftops around the world.

Elevate’s RubberGard® EPDM is an ideal membrane for combination with extensive green roof systems, using lightweight and low maintenance sedum vegetation. The large, seamless (up to 930 m²), lightweight and flexible EPDM membrane has successfully passed the FLL test for root penetration and can therefore provide dependable performance in a demanding roofing environment.

The benefits of RubberGard EPDM in green roofing

The benefits of the combination of a RubberGard® EPDM membrane with a green roof system are numerous:

  • Increased life expectancy of the roof
  • Added value and aesthetics
  • Lower energy costs
  • Easy installation and maintenance
  • Improved air quality
  • Reduction of the urban heat-island effect
  • Storm water management
  • Extra soundproofing and insulation
  • A natural habitat for plants and birds
