Vegetated Roofing Systems

While stunning plants are the most visible part of a vegetated roof from Tremco, they’re just one element of the roofing system.  We take just as much care in designing, installing and supporting the entire roof as we do in helping select the best mix of plants for your environment.  This means approaching the roof from the deck up. 

We first ensure our vegetated roof’s integrity with the right waterproofing membrane (liquid applied, single ply or other solution based on your needs) .  From there we develop your roof with drainage and protection products such as root barriers, insulation, and growing media options, capped by your plant palette, so that the entire vegetated roofing system functions optimally and looks great doing it.

The Right Green Roof System For Your Building

Tremco offers five fully integrated systems created for optimal performance, including stormwater management, with optional upgrades and accessories . We make it easier than anyone else to customize your green roof to your needs!

• VR Lite is an extensive built-up system that still offers optimal performance for projects with budgetary or structural limitations. 

• VR Mod is an "instant vegetated roof” - a pre-vegetated, modular system that is easy to install and offers 100% vegetation coverage from the start.   
• VR Max is our high performance built-up system for intensive and semi-intensive vegetated roofs. Unrivalled in storm water management capacity and cooling benefits, VR Max systems will support virtually any rooftop landscape, no matter how complex.    
• VR Ultralite is a thin, lightweight, extensive system best suited for projects with budgetary or structural limitations.   
• VR Ultralite Plus, an upgraded version of our VR Ultralite, uses growing media for additional system performance.   

We also offer Deck Solutions, a wide range of pavers, paver pedestals and other paver accessories to complement your vegetated roof.  

But that’s just the start.  Once the roof is installed by one of our experienced contractor partners, our commitment to full service extends to our TremCare Green vegetated roof maintenance program, which provides preventive maintenance and housekeeping to keep your roof thriving, and a 24/7 leak response hotline. (TremCare Green is available for any vegetated roof).

When developing a vegetated roofing system, we recommend using solvent-free products.

Vegetated roofs are complicated, with more components than a standard roof.  If you’re thinking about adding a vegetated roof to your building, please contact your local Tremco Roofing sales representative for a roof consultation and project plan as soon as possible.
