When thinking of sedum roofs from an intensive vs extensive green roof perspective, things are less clear. Roof gardens can be subject to strong winds, with turbulence on the leeward side of solid walls and fences. Use slatted or mesh screens where possible, as they filter the wind before it hits the garden

Each M-Tray® module is 500 x 500mm and can be carried by one operative and therefore installed much faster than traditional roll-out Achieves a fire classification of B ROOF t(4) and was tested in accordance with to CEN/TS 1187 Test 4.Manages Stormwater: The primary significance of green roof trays is they are very helpful in managing stormwater. Modular roof trays have small troughs and drain orifices built into them, which helps the tray with retention and controlled release of the water. All green roof systems require maintenance albeit minimal in the case of our Modular System. We recommend carrying out maintenance every two to four times a year, depending on your location. Factors like proximity to trees or the presence of many birds can increase debris and potential grass contamination. Special considerations for rooftop gardens include sun exposure, wind, temperature, and access. Rooftop gardens are seldom shaded, excess sun exposure can be a problem for some food plants. The plants may also require extra watering to fight against the damaging effects of constant sun and higher temperatures. Overhead irrigation on rooftop gardens often blows away, so drip irrigation is a better choice when irrigation is necessary. Soils on rooftops will dry out faster after rainfall than will soils on the ground. Mulching soil can help keep it moist in between rain or irrigation. Also, wind speeds double for every 10 stories of building height, so it may also be necessary to stabilize plants and/or containers.

Semi-extensive green roofs take 12-18 months to establish, during which time they will need maintenance. Hand weeding, watering and feeding are all necessary, and it may sometimes be necessary to replant areas that have failed. Intensive green roofsThe fact that the trays are lightweight and relatively small means they can easily be carried and transported by one person, making them the ideal DIY green roof trays. They’re also easily removable if you ever need access to the waterproofing layer. A Rollout green roof system may be more cost-effective in terms of materials, particularly for large or commercial projects. However, there are minimum quantity requirements for some of the system layers, making it impractical for smaller residential projects. Rollout systems offer greater design flexibility, making them suitable for roofs with intricate curves, and they allow control over substrate depth. On the downside, these systems require installation by a qualified professional, which can be more labour-intensive and consequently more expensive. Additionally, if membrane maintenance is necessary, it can be challenging to access, and the materials may not be reusable. This style of roof gets its name because it has living plants growing on top of a house. Here are the cost factors related to soil and plantings on a green roof. Green Roof Tray System Cost

Flat roof solar panel mounting systems require a specific approach. To install solar PV on south facing flat roof we would use a ballasted system. This means the roof is not penetrated (which would let in water on a flat roof), and the system is unable to be lifted or tipped over by the wind. The triangular mounting frames are preassembled and placed on aluminium feet. The rows of panels must be spaced apart so that the row in front does not shade the row behind. This gap is roughly 500mm between the rear of one panel and front of another. Once in place, the ballast is then placed on the frame underneath the panels to hold it securely in place. The solar panels are then simply bolted to the triangular frame. When you have a green roof, the water has no way to accumulate on the roof. Because the plants will absorb most of it plus, the drainage features of the modular roof tray will delay the passage of water to the sewage system. Therefore, you will significantly reduce the risk of flooding.And as the roof will be forever at the mercy of the elements – you’re unlikely to add a greenhouse up there – it’s important the plants know how to survive. The beauty of green roof trays is how simple they are to install. DIYers don’t need any previous experience or specialist skills. All you need is a flat roof with a primary waterproofing layer and our green roof trays. Most sheds and outbuildings will already have this, but if you require a primary waterproofing layer consider liquid roof coatings such as Polyshield Liquid Roof Membrane or other waterproofing layers such as felt or EPDM. Then you simply place the green roof trays in position.
