THE GREEN ROOF SPECIALISTS
Sedum Roofs
Using sedum is a great way to provide a natural finish to a roof. The plants
themselves are very hardy, and can withstand great ranges of temperature and
weather. During the spring and summer they will flower and attract many insects especially bees and butterflies.
Having a sedum roof has many benefits for the building it is installed on as well
as the environment. These include increased thermal and sound insulation over
a standard roof, vastly reduced stormwater runoff and a greatly decreased carbon footprint.
Sedum roofs can also be installed for their aesthetic qualities. Throughout the year, the plants change colour from green to purple and red, as well as producing an array of flowers in spring and summer, which add another splash of colour to otherwise dull rooftops.
Normally the plants are grown in a mat to provide an instant ‘green’ finish to the roof, but plug planting or seeding can be used where a more bespoke finish is required or where cost is a consideration.
