THE BENEFIT OF GREEN ROOFING AS WILDLIFE HABITATS

Well, we all are aware about the various benefits provided by the green roofing and due to the benefits, green roofing has been increasing its popularity in the US gradually. Some of the major benefits provided by the green roofing are the capability of managing the storm water, environment friendly, appealing appearance and of course helps in providing insulation to your commercial building. For the past many years, Green Roofing has been very popular in the European countries. However, in the recent years the popularity of Green Roofing is gradually increasing in the United States and Canada as well. Green Roofing is a type of roofing in which the rooftop of your commercial building is fully and sometimes partially covered with the vegetations and plants in soil.

Green Roofing is also known as live roofing. Due to the vegetation and plants present in the rooftop, Green Roofing also serves as habitats for wildlife. The quality of providing wildlife habitats of Green Roofing helps in reducing the habitat loss due to urban lifestyle and urban sprawl. Green Roofing also helps in including and adding more nature to our environment. There are many insects which can be present on the rooftop of Green Roofing such as leafhoppers, beetles, flies, bees, ants, spiders and snails. Some of the rare species of insects and plants can also be found in the Green Roofing. The variety of vegetations and plants are increasing with the increase in the designing and layout of Green Roofing.

And with that, the diversity of the species of beetle and spiders have also been increasing. According to the latest research on Green Roofing in North America, it is found that many species of bird’s rest and feed on the rooftop of Green Roofing while passing through. According to one of the latest studies conducted in North America, about 70% of the birds of 37 different bird species were found on the rooftop of Green Roofing. One of the main reasons behind this is that Green Roofing is a way higher in the department of the diversity of insects and the source of food to various species of birds, as compared to any other roofing system in the world. The various species of birds are magnolia warblers, woodcocks, hummingbirds, flycatchers and peregrine falcons.

However, the benefit of Green Roofing as wildlife habitats is very new in business and considered to be the work in progress. But it is very obvious and evident that a properly designed and installed Green Roofing will definitely support in providing the habitat to various species of insects and birds. Not only this, Green Roofing also helps in conserving the rare species of birds and insects which are affected by the loss of habitat. However, in addition to the environmental and ecological advantages of Green Roofing, it also helps in providing more green space just like the parks, which is very appealing and enjoyable.

THE INSTALLATION OF ROLL ROOFING

When it comes to the installation process of roll roofing then, it is one of the easiest and very less time-consuming processes. Roll Roofing is a single layer roofing membrane and it is installed in that way only. However, for better protection, sometimes double layers are also installed on the surface of the flat roofing. The most critical part of the installation process of Roll Roofing is that, if it is not installed properly then the lifespan of Roll Roofing would be very less. That is why, it is very important that the Roll Roofing should be installed with the professional roofing contractors only. Because it is very easy to install, sometimes people think of installing the Roll Roofing on their own.

However, this is not a very smart thing to do. The installation part is the most critical part of Roll Roofing and it directly affects the lifespan of the roofing system. If installed and maintained properly, then Roll Roofing could last up to decades. However, if not installed properly and not properly maintained, then the lifespan of Roll Roofing could be less than five years also. Due to the vulnerable nature of Roll Roofing, the Roll Roofing should be handled with very care. At the time of the installation process, temperature plays a major role.
