A comprehensive guide to specialist
green roof growing media and sources of
information for enterprises involved in the
creation and design of sustainable
Green Roof solutions.
Welcome to the part of our site designed to assist those involved in creating and maintaining green roofs
We have developed a range of growing media for Green Roofs, as we recognise both the positive impacts of these projects and the benefits a flourishing green roof offers commercial enterprises, local authorities, the public and wildlife.
A green roof reduces run-off and thus flooding. It reduces noise levels, provides UV protection, insulation/energy saving and urban cooling/heat alleviation. It absorbs CO2 and reduces air pollution.
A green roof attracts wildlife: increasing biodiversity and enhancing living and working spaces. In addition, Life Cycle Assessment shows that green roofs cost the same as or less than conventional roofing: benefiting the environment, while affording cost benefits to users.
Those environmental benefits are applauded by government at a local, national and European level. Inclusion of a green roof in a planning application already aids approval and it is very likely to become mandatory.
Please use the menu to the left to see our range of specialist growing media, download our brochures, Material Safety Data Sheets and Product Information Sheets. We also hope you find our advice helpful on organisations that can provide more detailed information on green roof specialists.
