Green Roofs are increasing in popularity and incorporate vegetation, growing media and waterproofing membranes, water retention, drainage and irrigation systems. Elmich, a leading designer and manufacturer of products for the building and construction industries world – wide, has developed systems that incorporate a range of proprietary products that enable unattractive and heat absorbing roofs to become aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable structures.
