Kemper for Green Roofs: A Match Made in Planting Heaven
Kemper System is particularly well-suited to green roofing installations. This is because plants that make up green roofs obviously require watering, and so the roof below needs to handle the demands of frequent water exposure.

Kemper can be applied underneath green roofs to waterproof the roof, as well as any penetrations. This protects the building structure underneath. Additionally, Kemper System liquids are undetectable, enabling a stunning view of whichever plants you choose to adorn the structure, whether that be a more simple sedum look overall, or a rooftop garden.
Benefits of using Kemper for green roof installations:
- rot resistant (no problem with watering plants and worrying about water penetration)
- root resistant (plants can’t grow into roof structure and thereby deteriorate the roof and open up penetrations)
- odor-free application
