EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOFS

We specialise in producing and installing our Extensive Greenlink
Flora-Mat System, using our established sedum mats

Providing environmental and cost benefits these roofs are very low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing. Generally, an extensive greenroof system uses a shallow layer of substrate (25-100mm) planted with low-growing succulents and sedum, and occasionally wildflowers, herbs and other native species. The plants will give excellent coverage of the entire roof.

Extensive roofs are ideal for both new and existing buildings, on pitched or flat roofs to provide insulation or water attenuation. These light-weight systems require only annual or six monthly maintenance, and do not impose any significant weight on the building structure, therefore there are usually no structural implications.

A low cost long-term solution that does not require irrigation. The Extensive green roof
is designed to be self-sustaining and to look "natural".

INTENSIVE GREEN ROOFS

Intensive gardens are based on a deeper layer of soil or substrate (150mm+).

These are roof gardens which are created to provide additional space for people to use as amenity areas. They usually have a flat roof or shallow pitch and can incorporate lawns and specially selected shrubs, trees and plants. Roof gardens require the same "intensive" maintenance and upkeep as the ground level garden.

Irrigation and drainage systems must be adequately designed. Pathways, terraces and other architectural features can be included. Intensive roof gardens place significant weight on the building structure and need to be engineered to conform to load requirements and health and safety. Visually they are very attractive but have high capital and maintenance costs.
