Firestone Building Products
The Firestone Building Products SkyScape™ Vegetative Roof System is an easy-to-install, sustainable roof system that requires significantly less maintenance than alternate roofing options. Available in either a multi-layered or modular system, it protects roofing material from UV degradation, mitigates wind uplift, creates an insulating layer to reduce heating and cooling costs, and improves storm water management. The system also enhances air quality resulting from the conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen and decreased ambient air temperature, reducing the heat island effect. In addition, it features characteristics designed to promote healthy plant growth.
