How Can I Get a Greenroof?

The main criteria to bear in mind are the following:

Based on a minimum average growing medium depth of 75mm, the plant systems have a maximum saturated weight of 100kgs per m². The roof structure must be able to support this weight. This includes all other normal weight that a roof should support.
The roof should have a sound waterproofing system. The plants are able to hold a large amount of water, especially during the winter season. Both the total amount and the rate of rainwater run off is greatly reduced easing the burden on stormwater drains.
For roof pitches above 10º, reinforced “ribs” may be required to prevent substrate slippage. Advice on roof pitches are offered through our consultancy service.
All plant material is either grown by Greenroofs Ltd or sourced from as close as possible to the installation site
