Traditionally turf roofs have been used in Scandinavia for centuries as a means of insulation and roof support. Suitable for timber frame constructions with a pitched roof, they are ideal for commercial or residential applications where integration of local bio-diversity is desirable.
The PROGREEN Turf Roof utilises a bio-diverse planting scheme made up of species native to the UK, allowing rural buildings to blend into their natural surroundings or soften the urban landscape. Turf Roofs can be installed on almost all roof pitches, a unique feature of this roof. It can also offer:
- Excellent SUDS benefits with nearly 200mm of living material
- Local biodiversity benefits
- The Wildflower Turf can survive in extreme conditions
- Cost effective solution due to simplicity of installation
- Increase thermal and acoustic benefits
- A range of finishing options available

This system is one of the simplest and quickest to install in the marketplace. The 150mm of growing medium is supplied in 'hessian' bags and then installed like brickwork up the slope. A 20mm screed of soil is then applied to level out the system with the wildflower turf mats placed on top.
Protan's Turf Roofs are very simple and require very few layers compared to conventional green roof systems. As a result, Protan Turf Roofs are one of the most cost-effective bio-diverse systems in the marketplace. |
