Introduction There are several ecological and environmental benefits of green roofs which have consequentially brought in increasing interests in this technology. A green roof, as a “carpeting” of plants on the roof of buildings, offers many benefits in addition to enhancing its aesthetic value. Primarily, green roofs have the ability to delay the storm runoff peak occurrence, thus reducing the peak flow rate and mitigating flood risks. Another benefit is its thermal insulation potential that reduces

Why people still choose roof tiles over colorbond for roofing? When it comes to Australian roofing materials, there are two that stand out beyond the rest. While others may be used occasionally it is the roof tiles and colorbond that are seen on almost all homes. If you find yourself in need of a new roof you may be wondering about the benefits and downfalls of each. Why should a person still choose roofing tiles over the newer colorbond? This is a valid question that deserves a bit of research

Green roofs are a type of green infrastructure that are becoming increasingly more popular as they perform vital environmental functions in addition to being a used for storm water management. In simple terms, green roofs provide storm management by providing layers of absorbent materials on the roof’s surface capable of holding water. These layers consist of some form of vegetation like grass, a growing medium that enables the vegetation to cultivate, a filtering layer that allows only water to
