M-Tray®, EasyClick, Adjustable Support Pads, Outlets & Geotextile – All In Action

August 8th, 2017

Everything required for this rooftop project in Wimbledon was provided by Wallbarn.

The client contacted us with some very tight deadlines. A large green roof was needed to comply with planning rules. They also wanted a paved access area around the green roof and a decked terrace to be laid onto another outdoor space.

As Wallbarn supplies mature M-Tray® plant modules from stock, we were able to respond quickly to the client’s demands. The sedum plants contained within each module are mature and established, and therefore provide an instant green roof.

The waterproofed deck was covered with a geotextile fabric as a protection and separation layer.

The edges of the green roof were surrounded with an aluminium retaining bar to hold everything in place and give an attractive border detail.

The M-Tray® modules were supplied on pallets and fork-lifted onto the roof space. From there, they could be transported by sack truck, and then hand-carried before being slotted into place.

The superior connection clips mean that our trays can be installed very quickly, in this case, with all 200sqm of green roof being completed in a single day.

The second terrace area was covered with new iDecking EasyClick composite boards, mounted onto Wallbarn pedestals. The ingenious connection design meant that installation for this terrace was also extremely fast and there were no visible screws or fixings anywhere on the deck.

The client, Prestige Developments, was working to very tight deadlines. Thankfully we completed the project on schedule and in good time for the first residents to arrive. They now benefit from looking out onto a vibrant, living green roof.
