Green rooftop project brightens roof at SIUE
Written on January 25, 2010
Belleville-based Taylor Roofing Inc. recently installed a "green roof terrace" at Rendleman Hall at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
The terrace garden, installed on the flat roof, now includes a variety of native plants, selected to keep color on the rooftop through all seasons.
The terrace garden project includes a roof garden drainage system, root barrier, protection fabric, aluminum roof garden edging and aluminum drain boxes us fast cash. The benefits include improved stormwater run-off management, year-round energy efficiency and reduced rooftop noise infiltration.
