Midwest Company Transforms Commercial Roofs Into Money Saving Gardens.

Green Roof Blocks, a new company based in St. Louis, MO., has created an easy to install green roof system that reduces energy costs and increases the life of a commercial roof by up to four times.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 --- Green Roof Blocks (TM), a new company based in St. Louis, MO has introduced a product that allows commercial buildings to have lush greenery sprouting from their roofs! In addition to the unique aesthetic qualities, Green Roof Blocks help to reduce energy consumption and costs, decrease storm water run off and preserve the life of the roof by up to four times.

Green Roof Blocks are self contained portable units that hold 24 square inches of drought resistant sedum foliage.The decorative and functional units are placed on the existing roof and provide building owners with a decorative and affordable way to literally add life" to the building. Until now, having a commercial green roof required expensive water proofing, drainage systems and an excessive amount of soil," says Kelly Luckett, the companys president. Our Green Roof Blocks are completely self contained and mobile. Anyone can install our green roof system and there is very little maintenance."

Green Roof Blocks are available in over 400 plant styles. While its not necessary to install the blocks on the entire roof, it is recommended that the blocks cover at least 50% of the roof for maximum energy savings. In addition to beautifying and reducing energy costs, according to The National Research Council (Ottawa, Canada), green roofs can actually triple or quadruple the life of the roof . The two most destructive elements to a roof is ultra violet ray exposure and freeze thaw cycling," adds Luckett. The Green Roof Blocks shield the roof from harmful ultra violet ray exposure. Plus, while a roof can wear from freezing and thawing, the Green Roof Blocks keep the roof at a steady even temperature."

Green Roof Blocks is a subsidiary of St. Louis Metalworks, with offices located at 11701 New Halls Ferry Rd., Florissant, MO 63033.The company maintains a web site at: www.greenroofblocks.com
