Bioroof Systems receives FM Approval for Modular Vegetative Roof System.

Bioroof Systems is very pleased to receive approval for their Bio-Module Green Roof Modules from FM Global Group according to the FM Standard 4477. FM Global is a global leader in engineering-based loss prevention analysis and the FM Standard 4477 specifically tests vegetative roof systems.

Tests related to combustibility, water leakage resistance, and foot traffic resistance were conducted on the Bio-Module. The Approvals process also considered the vegetative roof system in the context of the larger roof assembly and required proven compatibility between Bioroof System components and FM Approved roof cover components. Bioroof Systems’ FM Approval applies both to Canada and the US.

Through their certification and testing process, FM Approvals develops internationally recognized and respected standards for products and services throughout the building process. For more information on FM Approval standards, visit their website HERE.
