Garden Roofing
Garden Roofing Can Offer You Great Benefits...But Be Sure To Avoid The Common Pitfalls And Hassles
Have you considered the benefits that a garden roof can offer, like:
- Energy Savings...Up to 15% according to recent studies*
- Land Optimization...The potential to build a larger structure or add square footage onto your existing property than would normally be allowed by code (due to improved stormwater management)
- Tax Incentives...Federal as well as many state and local governments have enacted tax benefits for garden-type roofs.
The list of benefits for garden roofs is long (visit www.gaf.com for more information). But before you select a garden roof for your property, be sure you avoid the common pitfalls and hassles associated with many garden roof systems:
- Major Hassle #1: Complicated, ineffective designs...
Garden roofs can have up to 8 different components (not including the roofing membranes), that can be time-consuming and difficult to instsall. If installed improperly, the result can be poor performance or even system failure. - Major Hassle #2: Mutliple unaffiliated contractors...
Most garden roof suppliers utilize different installers (roofing contractors, landscapers, etc) which can lead to longer installation time and business interruption for you. - Major Hassle #3: Mutliple guarantee sources...
If you have a problem, who do you turn to? The roof manufacturer? The plant supplier? The contactor(s)? Will they even be in business in a few years (much less 20 years or more from now)?
To address these risks, GAF has developed a superior garden roofing solution...
