verticiel releases resource guide on starting your own green roof and wall business
After years in the living architecture business, and helping a bunch of people along the way, I thought it was time. Time to compile some of the resources I discovered and used over the years to help someone new to the field get their business up and running so they can join in making this planet better than we found it.
Let me know what you think!

Official release of verticiel's moss tile
So, we sent out a press release a few weeks ago to various media outlets detailing the moss tile product. It's been received amazingly well and hopefully we'll have some good news to post soon. But, we neglected to put up the release on our own blog. Maybe we should do that some time soon? Yeah, that's a good idea...

New moss roof is the lightest and most energy efficient green roof on the market
Toronto, Ontario - September 16, 2009 - verticiel Inc. today announces the arrival of a moss tile system designed to be the lightest and most energy efficient green roof and living wall system on the market. The moss tile system, made of completely recycled materials, has an insulation value of R-35 when mature and weighs less than 7 pounds per square foot when saturated with water.
The virtually maintenance-free system is sun and drought tolerant. During prolonged periods of drought the intensely green moss becomes dormant and springs to life once it is watered.
“For years clients have asked us for a system that has it all“ says President Kelven Goodridge. “We are delighted to now offer it; the moss tile system attaches to almost any surface and looks amazing. Personally, it is exciting to offer a new way to feel great about helping the environment, while saving money."
About verticiel Inc.: verticiel Inc. is a full-service Toronto based living architecture company specializing in green roofs, living walls, and permaculture gardens. Serving North America and beyond, verticiel’s mandate is to combine the best of sustainability, beauty, and practicality to produce affordable living systems for everyone to enjoy.
