Why not turn that dull roof into something spectacular with a low maintenance green roof that offers some worthwhile environmental benefits?

Sedum Supply specialises in growing and supplying a marvellous range of sedum products, for use on green roofs and in garden landscaping projects and has also developed ready grown environmentally friendly wildflower roofs.

Green Roofs are becoming more and more popular in both rural and urban locations and they can be installed on flat roofs as well as roofs with a slope of up to 45 degrees.

There are different ways of achieving a living green roof:-

An Extensive Green Roof is particularly low maintenance, generally planted with sedum and is designed to look after itself for most the year.

A Wild Flower Green Roof is an extensive Green Roof planted with a wild flower mix, to provide colour throughout the summer months and a very natural habitat for local wildlife.

An Intensive Green Roof provides an accessible roof garden that can be used for recreational and leisure purposes and will require ongoing maintenance throughout the year.

Green roofs are also becoming popular because:

Alleviate Flooding
Following a heavy rainfall a green roof will initially retain more rain than a conventional roof. This minimises the initial heavy run-off, which can cause localised flooding and put pressure on the sewage system.

Noise Reduction
The soft layer of a sedum blanket growing on a green roof has the affect of absorbing sound, as opposed to hard conventional roofs, which can reflect it; the same layer can reduce sound pollution within the building.

Increases Thermal Insulation properties
Making it warmer in winter, cooler in summer and reducing energy costs.

Green roofs can be used to soften ugly flat roofs on extensions, garages, sheds etc. so that they blend more easily into their environment.

Visit the Sedum Supply website for more in depth information.
