Security Starts with the Roof… The Foundation Beneath the Growing Medium
 At Viridian Systems, we understand the key to a vegetative roof assembly is the principal roof system underlying the growing medium and vegetation. The roof must provide secure waterproof protection for the building asset below as well as a foundation for the growing medium and vegetation in the green roof above. Whether your green roof project involves new construction or installation on an existing building, it is critical the roof system is sound, appropriate for your unique project considerations, and will perform under your specific climate construction.
Long-Term Sustainability...
The Key for a Safer Tomorrow
Sustainability demands that today’s environmental,
economic and social needs are met in ways that will not
compromise the well-being of future generations. We
embrace sustainability as an attitude and are aware
of the paths we are helping to forge and the trails we
collectively leave behind. Our sustainable development
effort seeks to significantly reduce the negative impact
that new and existing buildings have on the environment.
Often times, a sound, but aged roof can be repaired
rather than replaced — extending its lifecycle, reducing
landfill waste, and preserving both tangible and intangible
resources. Utilizing environmentally preferable roofing
technologies and a restoration approach to roof
replacement, Viridian is dedicated to extending the life of
existing roofs through effective maintenance and repair.

Reusable Metal Systems
Viridian edge metal systems are engineered to ensure
long-term service and durability. To reduce the
environmental impact resulting from the extraction
and processing of new virgin materials, both postconsumer
and post-industrial recycled content is
utilized without sacrificing product performance.
Tested in accordance to Factory Mutual’s Roof
Perimeter Flashing Standard, and ANSI / SPRI ES-1 test
protocols, Viridian offers edge metal options designed
to provide extreme wind uplift resistance. Since
the majority of Viridian Systems’ metal products are
mechanically attached and snapped into place at the
roof edge, they can be removed and reinstalled when
the original and future roofs are replaced.
