Partnering with Wallbarn to provide reliable and sustainable modular green roof systems

SIG Design & Technology has partnered with Wallbarn to provide reliable and sustainable modular green roof systems that can transform both new and refurbishment projects.

The Wallbarn M Tray ® consists of specially-designed modular trays containing superior, engineered substrate and fully established flowering sedum, which are easy-to-carry and click together to form a seamless green roof. The fully established sedum plants are nurtured from seed at Wallbarn’s UK nurseries.

Built Up Green Roof
SIG Design & Technology are working with Eco Green Roofs (EGR) to provide guaranteed green roof and blue roof systems.

Partnering with Eco Green Roofs allows SIG to offer a fully built up system that combines expertise on both the green roofing and waterproofing under one package.

Eco Green Roof System
Eco Green Roof provides guaranteed systems that replicate the natural growing environment for plants. Using a wide range of sedum and wildflower plant species they create lush, vibrant, bio-diverse environments that can transform both new and refurbishment projects.

A green roof has a core function in the development of the urban landscape and every system requires careful blending to ensure its environmental capacity is suited to its location and the demands that may be laid upon it.

Designing bespoke systems to meet the client’s needs, Eco Green Roofs specialises in the supply and installation to ensure the sustainability of their green roofs.

The planting of Green Roof can be achieved using one of three methods; pre-grown mat, plug planting and self-vegetated.

Plant choice should consider factors such as air pollution levels, location, structural limitations of the building and the level of maintenance required. The choice is also dependent upon what the client wants to achieve. If you have any bespoke requirements, please contact SIG and they can create a perfect green roof for you.

EGR Blue Roof System
SIG Design & Technology also offer optimal roofscape water management solutions with the EGR Blue Roof System.

In the past, blue roofs were conceived as storage tanks for rainwater harvesting. Today they form part of SuDs best practice. A blue roof is designed to attenuate water, typically rainfall and release this water over a longer period of time. This eases the pressure on the drainage systems particularly in times of severe rainfall.

Blue Roofs are suitable for a wide range of building types from domestic to commercial. They place stormwater attenuation within the building footprint, making them ideal for urban environments where ground space is limited.
