O
ver the past few months we have learned much about Green Roof installation and received green roof advice covering everything from planning to inception, through to installation and planting.
Green roof advice is not difficult to come by as popularity grows.
Finding comprehensive green roof suppliers that are prepared to offer extensive advice is pretty rare.
As a green roof is designed to be sustainable and long-lasting, it is critically important to ensure that each aspect is carried out accurately from the initial structural, load-bearing survey to the right plants that go in during the final stage.
It is possible, as we know, to buy green roofing material that is ‘ready-to-go’. Finding a reliable supplier has been my mission for the last few weeks and finally, I have discovered a great site that offers green roof advice and supplies everything you need to install DIY-fashion. They will also install the green roof for you or put you in touch with an accredited roofing specialist to do the job for you in any area of the UK.
The pages are well worth a visit as there is a great deal of green roof advice, including a full explanation of the benefits of green roofing in addition to the different types of green roof available.
As a flat roofing specialist, I too can see and understand the benefits of the installation of green roofing. Having carried out a personal project, I can see that the work is indeed highly detailed – it is certainly not a case of shovelling some soil on the roof and throwing a few plants in!
Accuracy, safety aspects, drainage and waterproofing are delved into much more deeply than I first realised, although it is clear to most that the roof structure needs to be sturdy enough to carry the extra weight that the green roof demands.
Take a look at the green roof advice page and consider carefully your options. The price for green roofing is a little more than traditional roofing initially, yes, but the benefits are far-reaching. Incidentally, this company are reasonably and competitively priced for green roof supply.
