Prime can install vegetative roofs from both Carlisle Syntec and Firestone Building Products. Prime prefers to install the modular tray systems. The modular trays from both manufacturers are 2’x2’ in size and are made from heavy duty polypropylene. The modular trays are installed over a protection layer depending on which manufacturer is chosen which is placed directly over the single-ply or modified bitumen roof system. What makes the modular tray system great is that the modular trays can be removed easily in the event of a leak or simply if the desire is to eliminate the garden roof from one area of the roof. The modular trays come pre-planted prior to arriving on the jobsite and is usually planted using native plants. Both Carlisle and Firestone offer single source warranties. Garden roofs offer these benefits:
1.) Extended roof life
2.) Been shown to lower heating & cooling costs
3.) Aesthetic Values
4.) Improves Air Quality & Reduces Urban Heat Island Effect
5.) Improves Storm Water Management
