Quite simply a Green Roof is a planted roof. Green roofs have been
around for a long time. Our ancestors knew of their benefits. They reduce rainwater run-off, absorb sound,
insulate your property and return oxygen to the environment.
The latest advances in eco-technology have now enabled their design and
maintenenace to meet modern environmental standards.
Green
roofs have a different appearance in each season. Options include
sedums, wildflowers and grasses or simply turf. When the plants are
flowering your green roof will provide a colourful spectacle and increase biodiversity in your locale
by encouraging many bird and insect species to visit.
Adding solar panels to the
roof to power your home, office or workshop couldn't be more
eco-friendly, and you may be
able to obtain a grant to cover all or
part of the costs. You may also be able to supply
any excess electricity produced to the National Grid. We can specify solar panels as
part of our design and manage the complete project for you. As demand
and availability are increasing there are now lower prices on solar panels.
We
also design brown roofs using
locally distinctive topsoils and living
walls to provide vertical
gardens attractively planted with
vegetation.
