Liquid Plastics recognise the substantial growth of the Green Roof Market and the many economic and environmental benefits associated with Green Roofs, some of which include aiding noise reduction, increasing the thermal performance of a building, improving aesthetics and absorbing CO2.

Extensive Green Roof Systems are an ideal solution to provide an aesthetic, low maintenance ecological feature, which can be admired from surrounding buildings.
Due to a relatively shallow and lightweight growing medium they are ideal for use over most structures including pitched roofs and generally use a pre-grown sedum blanket. Extensive Brown Roofs recycle existing brown site materials such as
crushed brick, and help to create biodiversity for local plant and animal species.
Dusty Gedge, founder of Livingroofs.org, presented the importance of Green and Brown Roofs at Liquid Plastics’ Press Launch held at Blenheim Palace. Dusty stressed the important role that Green Roofs have on the environment. He said: “They play a positive part in climate change, adaptability and they help to deliver local, regional and national biodiversity action plans.”
