Live Roof Systems
Bring modules with established plants and set them in place on the rooftop
Why LiveRoof®?
Eliminate the need to start with a brown roof and farm it for years, hoping and waiting for it to become a green roof. GAF is partnering with LiveRoof® to combine the proven performance of EverGuard® TPO and PVC membranes with the LiveRoof® patented, proven hybrid green roof system.
Installation
Each module arrives to the jobsite fully grown and is simply set in place on the rooftop.
During installation, the unique, patent-pending Soil Elevator™ is easily removed to allow for a seamless fit, which provides the look of a "built-in" system without the extensive, ongoing costs of maturation.
Step One:
The Licensed Grower inserts the LiveRoof® Soil Elevator™ into the module
Step Two:
The LiveRoof® module is filled to the top of Soil Elevator™ with LiveRoof® engineered growing medium
Step Three:
LiveRoof® plants are grown to maturity approximately one inch above the LiveRoof® module
Step Four:
Certified installer sets LiveRoof® modules tightly in place on the roof within RoofEdge® aluminum edge restraint
Step Five:
LiveRoof® Soil Elevator™ is removed for a beautiful, seamless, instantly mature green roof
Step Six:
Water thoroughly to settle any loose growing medium and to give your green roof a great start
