Using The M-Tray® To ‘Find’ Lost Spaces

With the extra time at home for people throughout the UK, many people are turning their attention to home improvement tips and ideas.

The versatility of some green roofing options, and in particular the M-Tray® modular green roof solution, ensure that along with being perfect for standard flat roofs, they can also be utilised for other lost and spare flat roofs. 

Finding ‘Lost’ Spaces

One of our past projects came as a request from a customer who wanted to ensure that a recently installed garden storage unit on the back of his home didn’t go to waste.

The M-Tray®, being modular in shape and incredibly easy to install, lent itself perfectly to the job.

The M-Tray® is self-contained within the walls of the plastic tray and comes with fully established, sustainable vegetation.

Easy To Install

Exactly 4 units per m² make estimating and installing much easier. M-Tray® modules are extremely easy to transport and deliver. They can also be used in areas where standard roll-out is not possible.

Whilst the name ‘green roofs’ will undoubtedly make many people look to the skies as they automatically think of the building rooftops, the versatility of the M-Tray® ensures that they are suitable for a wide variety of open and lost spaces, regardless of size, with some projects taking place much closer to the ground!

Providing Easy Access

The green roof components needed to be walked through the house to access the garden. Traditional roll-out green roof systems, with their bags of aggregate-based substrate and sedum blankets spilling compost and plant matter, are extremely messy to transport and install.

Taking a closer look at the M-Tray®

Our M-Tray® modular green roofing system has been further improved to make sedum roofs easier to install with less disruption to both the plants and the structure. M-Tray® is also designed to give a more seamless, verdant finish and an instant green roof.
