A green roof that is accessible can be a desirable amenity for building occupants but it must also comply with life safety codes. The green roof concept has seen wide spread acceptance within the construction community. Find out more here. Perimeter vegetation barriers offer protection regulation compliance.

Removing unnecessary finishes may provide sufficient capacity for a green roof of equal weight. The intention of the green roof concept is to take otherwise heat producing areas such as rooftops and plazas and provide a cooler environment. Thus the compatibility of safety features on accessible green roofs such as railings and lighting fixtures must also be considered. Some roofs are finished with substantial architectural build ups such as concrete pavers or stone.

Finish your green roof off with practical stylish edging. If there will be a gravel perimeter the retaining edge will separate the soil and gravel and does not need to be attached.
