Vegetative Roofing and Siding Shingles
Embodiments relate to an enhanced method for installing vegetation on sloped roofs or walls by incorporating waterproofing and support for vegetation in the same shingle avoiding the need for a separate waterproofing membrane. The design is for a roofing shingle that can be made out of any water resistant plastic, plastic composite, metal or material with a reasonably low coefficient of thermal expansion. The shingle has an exposure that has a box for supporting drainage media, soil and vegetation and installs in a traditional method with a nail gun and with the normal head-lap for weatherproofing.
