LiveRoof® Prevegetated Modular Green Roof System
Kees Govers, General Manager, Caradoc Green Roofs Ltd.
Booth #1219

Green roofs are becoming an ever increasing part of the green building envelope in Ontario’s cities. Traditionally they have consisted of several layers; root barrier, drainage board, filter fabric, media and finally plants that can take 2-3 years to look full-grown.

What if you could have that finished look the day it is installed? Have it put down on the roof in a considerably less time then a traditional system? And are able to make roof repairs and alterations without destroying portions of the green roof?

The LiveRoof® prevegetated modular green roof system offers all of the above in a clean, easy to handle, instantly attractive package. Join us for a live demonstration of a (small) LiveRoof installation.
