Brad Garner's Company Details
Purple-Roof is a green roof concept for stormwater management! Purple-Roof is non-proprietary so Architects and engineers can specify Purple-Roof for their projects, with the ease of specifying a manufactured product. However, with the benefit of knowing that the project can be competitively bid without breaking spec.Purple-Roof was born of 20 years of worldwide experience and exhaustive green roof research. We research before we make claims, and we back up our claims with scientific evidence. Purple-Roof also has a solid track record of performance in practical applications.Green roofs should not be one-size-fits-all. A Purple-Roof should be designed and specified appropriately to the climate based on local rainfall and evapotranspiration rates. While we work on publishing regional specs and details, contact us for a Purple-Roof to fit your climate.We don't like trading one evil for another. Green roofs should provide not only localized benefits but should be good for the planet as well. To the greatest extent possible, Purple-Roofs include natural materials, contain no harmful chemicals such as Formaldehyde. Soil ecology/biology lives in the center of our green roof designs and following the principles of nature minimize the need for man-made input in the form of fertilizer, plant replacement, and weeding.Economic sustainability is critical to long-term environmental sustainability. We believe the owner should see a return on investment of a green roof, beyond merely meeting regulatory requirements. This starts by using a green roof that is a true stormwater management tool incorporating retention and detention . Such a roof frees up space for maximum real estate potential while realizing all other benefits such energy savings, biodiversity, habitat creation, and heat island benefits.Got a technical question?
