Key Advantages Of The M-Tray Modular Green Roofing System

Green roofs are used to provide visual aesthetics to the construction project, to introduce nature back into cities and to mitigate the impact of densely populated urban areas.

They are a useful and increasingly cost-effective way to provide attractive, useful, environmentally friendly open spaces on otherwise ‘lost’ flat roofs and podium decks.

Green roofs are very adaptable and can be designed for large or small areas on most structural decks. However, truly understanding the horticultural requirements of introducing vegetation onto artificial surfaces is a discipline which requires specialist skills and knowledge.

All green roofs need light, water, drainage, and correctly engineered soils. Without ALL of these elements, the green roof vegetation will not thrive. Wallbarn green roof systems are constructed in order to provide sustainable long term vegetation and to minimise maintenance.

Wallbarn has many years of experience in landscaping and green roofing technologies. We are constantly innovating and developing new products and techniques to improve and enhance rooftop living.
