 Green roofs are created when the roof of a building is covered with plant life and vegetation with the aim of creating a natural habitat which provides excellent levels of insulation for the building along with the ability to absorb rainwater & provide a home for local wildlife.
Wallbarn are one of the premier green roof manufacturers in the country and can provide several forms of highly attractive and effective green roof systems which can be installed on to your roof to allow this to happen.
As one of the premier green roof manufacturers in the country, we are ideally positioned to advise and install the most appropriate green roof system for your particular project.
There are 3 main green roof systems which we have detailed below.
Modular green roof systems are ideally suited to a smaller green roof space & can easily be installed without the aid of a professional installer.
Modular green roof systems are very easy to assemble as they come as complete pre-grown units. They are already very robust & well established, so there is less risk of wind uplift or erosion in the crucial time period just after installation.
Component green roof systems are another variation & have been designed for larger, more extensive green roofs. The vegetation used in component green roof systems can be grass, sedum blankets, sedum/wildflower mixes, herbs or bio-diverse (brown roof) plants; each layer or component is supplied separately in bag or roll form and installed separately as a “dry” build-up. This allows easy access to roof areas. This system is ideal for large scale areas, unlevel or more complicated decks as it is flexible and “built into” the existing structure.
Living walls are a slightly newer variation of green roof systems and offer all the advantages of green roofs in terms of added value, water attenuation and insulation.
They offer all the advantages of green roofs in terms of added value, water attenuation & insulation but with the added bonus of being able to produce more natural space in often restricted areas. They are low maintenance, extremely attractive, highly visible & completely versatile.
