Creating Environmentally Friendly Spaces

Green roofs are used to provide visual aesthetics to the construction project, to introduce nature back into cities and to mitigate the impact of densely populated urban areas.

They are a useful and increasingly cost-effective way to provide attractive, useful, environmentally friendly open spaces on otherwise ‘lost’ flat roofs and podium decks.

Wallbarn has many years of experience in landscaping and green roofing technologies. We are constantly innovating and developing new products and techniques to improve and enhance rooftop living.

Taking A Closer Look At The M-Tray®

The M-Tray from Wallbarn is the latest generation of modular green roof system. Developed over 4 years, we manufactured, sewed and grew these sedum green roof modules in the spring of 2018 and they are ready to be installed on roofs now.

The M-Tray® is highly adaptable and can be designed for large or small areas on most structural decks. However, truly understanding the horticultural requirements of introducing vegetation onto artificial surfaces is a discipline which requires specialist skills and knowledge.

The advances made in the design of the new M-Tray® model include:

• Deeper cavities for extra root growth
• Optimum drainage leading to stronger plant growth
• More established vegetation at point of installation
• More efficient transport and packaging
• Exactly 4 units per m2
• Easier to carry trays with smooth handles
• Closer connection between trays for more seamless plant
  growth
• No sharp edges, less risk to the membrane
• Nothing spills out, less mess
• Made from recycled plastic with recycled substrate
• Less packaging, less waste
• UK designed and manufactured in UK

Not only do these systems offer design solutions for awkward urban spaces, they add beautiful flora and fauna, colour and biodiversity to buildings and city centres.
