Green Roofing Solutions
At the forefront of green roofing, then and now
Siplast was a pioneer in vegetated green roofing in the 1970s, leading the way with Teranap. Since then, Siplast has been helping our partners serve their communities with green roof solutions that include all the components required for a successful vegetated application — from waterproofing to dirt to plants. With both SBS-modified bitumen and liquid-applied waterproofing options, our green roof assemblies can be specified to include landscape options from extensive (requiring minimal maintenance) to intensive (requiring more extensive maintenance), depending on your project needs. As architects and planners design with an ever-closer eye on beneficial environmental and community impact, Siplast is here to help them deliver.
How a New York City roof became a wildlife destination
In addition to addressing numerous leaks, Siplast helped establish the Jacob K. Javits Center as an international model of sustainable best practices with an extensive green roof system. So successfully that the 6.75 acres of vegetation — the second-largest in the country — are providing a wildlife habitat. Check it out via the live Javits Center Green Roof Cam.

Solutions to help you meet your environmental goals
Siplast developed our first vegetated roof system, Teranap, in the 1970s. And we haven't stopped since — from reusable insulation to bright white roof membranes and a granule surfacing that can help reduce atmopsheric pollution — we've been designing products our partners can use to meet their environmental and sustainability goals. Keeping pace with city and state initiatives that encourage more sustainable building, Siplast has systems that meet major environmental standards, like California Title 24 Part 6, and can help contribute toward sustainability credits in programs like the U.S. Green Building Council LEED v4 program. For us, this is an ongoing commitment.Learn More
