Designed In North America. For North America.

Born out of the experience of one of North America's leading green roof installers, Bioroof Systems is different. While many North American green roofs have historically been built with low performance product which offers little or no true benefit, Bioroof has designed a system that fulfills the goals of biodiversity, storm water retention, reduction of urban heat island effect, and reduced energy consumption.

Our systems offer growing mediums able to support plantings which produce the habitat required for pollinators and wildlife. The result? Near zero runoff, self sustaining indigenous environments without the need for chemicals or pesticides, and quantifiable cooling benefits. And if there is any runoff, it will be free of urban toxins such as chlorinated and non-chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Instead of following the low performance European green roof model, Bioroof has reacted to the needs of the North American client. We have designed a green roof that would achieve a high standard of performance in the top reasons for purchasing a green roof: storm water retention, cooling and sustainability.

Bioroof has also paid close attention to the 'brown' of a green roof in creating a growing medium which is lighter by half than the aggregate based growing mediums otherwise prescribed - and therefore can be installed at greater depth to accommodate a more diverse planting palette - makes use of natural biological function to sustain plants and degrade water born urban pollutants, and can be locally sourced from renewable and recycled materials throughout the continent.

We also paid attention to the 'black' of a green roof, that being the waterproofing. We've employed the advice of some of North Americas top building scientists to ensure our system is compatible with the requirements of sound roofing practices, and have designed our system with enough flexibility that it is able to go over a wide variety of roof types. Through this, we are able to improve the longevity of most roofing systems well beyond what is normally expected. If the waterproofing does need to be replaced, the green roof can be disassembled and re-installed for many more decades of use.

Beyond the science of our green roof system, we also understand the installation is vital to it's performance. We have a national Certified Installer program with fully trained contractors that are well versed in the techniques of installation and maintenance.

Our superior systems also allow us to offer a superior warranty. While most green roof system manufacturers will warranty the components and vegetation for one year (some will not even cover the vegetation), Bioroof offers full warranty coverage, including labor and materials (including vegetation) for the life of the roofing membrane on roofs maintained by a Bioroof Certified Installer.

Bioroof Systems Inc. is a truly North American solution for the green roof marketplace, carrying the ideals of a robust environmental philosophy throughout our green roof solution. Designed in North America, for North America.
