What Makes The M-Tray® Perfect For Retrofit Installations

June 17th, 2021

With dimensions of 500mm x 500mm x 100mm (4 per square metre), the new M-Tray® modular green roofing system has been designed to significantly improve the ease of installation.

Easy Estimates & Installation

Exactly 4 units per m² make estimating and installing much easier. M-Tray® modules are extremely easy to transport and deliver. They can also be used in areas where standard roll-out is not possible.

They are easily transported to the site by pallet and can then be stacked neatly onto a parcel trolley. Each M-Tray® unit is self-contained and needs no additional aggregate which means zero disruption, zero mess.

Perfect For Difficult To Access Areas

During installation at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Heathrow, access to the roof was through a busy working hotel which could have been an issue were it not for the highly portable shape of our specially-designed M-Trays®.

During a previous installation at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Heathrow, access was a major issue to this hotel project and a roll-out green roof system was impossible due to the fact that much of the materials had to be moved through the building, a working hotel.

A Viable Solution

Our M-Tray® modular green roof system modules were really the only currently viable solution as the planted units could be walked through the lobby where required and hand-balled onto the roof structure.

The easy-to-fit modules were connected together using the specially designed fittings and the whole green roof was constructed within one day.

The hotel guests, who had previously been overlooking a flat roof with a black bitumen surface, now had a live, growing, green rooftop view from their rooms.
