Living Roof Systems

GuaraBROWN Roofing

Because brown roofs usually utilise local soil

and spoil to provide the substrate for the roof,

the roof will often initially be brown in colour.

However, over time plant species will grow

over this substrate and the end result will be a

green-coloured roof - albeit one that nature

has had a large hand in "designing."

GuaraDIVERSE Roofing

Similar to brown roofs, bio-diverse roofs

encourage the growth of local plants and

provide a perfect habitat for insects, birds

and other local wildlife.

This can provide necessary shelter for

endangered species that would otherwise

be displaced by building works.

GuaraGREEN Roofing

Extensive green roofs offer an attractive

looking roof finish, but without the need for

irrigation or maintenance.

We offer a range of planting options to

compliment the building and its surroundings

GuaraINTENSIVE Roofing

Unlike the Extensive Green Roof, this option

will provide an immediate, beautiful roof

garden but this comes at a maintenance

cost plus the possible need for water

irrigation to keep the roof looking as vibrant

as when it is first installed.
