    What Are Extensive Green Roofs

    April 6th, 2020

    Extensive green roofs are designed to be lightweight. Therefore, they can be used on a large variety of structures.

    Easy to manage

    The sedum plants we use have been selected to be easy to manage and do not need a large amount of watering, making them ideal for areas which may be overlooked but are difficult to access and maintain. 

    The sedum blankets contain a mixture of different species of sedum, specifically selected to provide a variety of different textures, colours and flowering periods and are supplied with at least 85% coverage. They are designed to give consistent, all year round coverage of vegetation throughout the year.

    Freshly cut sedum blankets

    Mixes of wildflowers, herbs and bulbs can also be incorporated into the blankets. We supply healthy, freshly cut sedum blankets.

    The roll-out green roof is a simple, low maintenance sedum green roof system where each element is supplied separately and installed layer by layer. It is an effective way of greening a roof deck and bringing a sense of nature to built-up areas.

    The key advantages of extensive green roofs include:

    • lightweight systems โ€“ as light as 50kg per m2
    • total build-up depth โ€“ 100-150mm thick
    • simple vegetation โ€“ mainly sedum
    • drought tolerant
    • saline tolerant
    • low maintenance requirement
    • irrigation system (optional)
