Green roof system over sip roof.
In the end holladay says the complications of overcoming inherent weaknesses of a sips roof might be an argument for choosing another roof system altogether.
Load would be 25 lbs per sq ft.
Getting full insulation coverage over the entire ceiling is easy with our e sip roof panels.
Unique services internal to panel.
Green roof development involves the creation of contained green space on top of a human made structure.
Options include a persist roof a hybrid design that includes rigid foam over the sheathing and dense packed cellulose in the rafter bays or an uninsulated roof over a vented.
Specifying a cold roof or simply over sheathing the roof.

Green roof systems may be modular with drainage layers filter cloth growing media and plants already prepared in movable often interlocking grids or loose laid built up whereby each component of the system may be installed separately.
Build for the future with extreme s structural insulated panels sips the high thermal values and strength properties of extreme s sips are highly beneficial for roof construction.
Our e sip panel is made up of expanded polystyrene eps.
We maintain consistent r value throughout the e sip home panel kits and past the exterior wall see diagram.
The pitch of the roof is very low only 1 2 inch in 12 and the metal roofing has been applied directly over the sips with no air channel beneath the roofing for ventilation.
