Ideal for commercial and residential applications where integration of local bio-diversity is required, 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.
The installation of the growing medium like brickwork up the slope using hessian sacks, makes this one of the simplest green roofs to install, particulary on pitched roofs. Turf roofs can be installed on almost all roof pitches, with drainage layers unnecessary on pitches in excess of 12o. It also offers:
- Additional SUDS benefits (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) with nearly 200mm of living material
- Local bio-diversity benefits
- The Wildflower Turf can survive in extreme conditions
- Cost effective due to the simple method of installation
- Increased thermal and acoustic benefits
James Talman, CEO comments “The benefits of some traditional Extensive Sedum Systems to the building’s performance and environmental merit are questionable due to the thickness of these systems. Turf Roofs on the other hand have withstood the test of time and continue to be used around Europe due to the increased benefits they offer”.
