Summer Green Roof Installations

Thinking of installing a green roof onto your property? If so, there is no better time than right now! The pictures below highlight a recent installation of our M-Tray modular extensive green roof systems. Looking extremely strong and healthy, the installation during the height of summer offers a major advantage over the method of using rolled-up sedum blankets, where the plants get damaged very easily. What is the M-Tray? M-TRAY is a ready-grown, fully established sedum, sedum-and-wildflower or wildflower-only green roof loaded into a portable tray, for easier installation of green roofs. The major benefit of M-TRAY is flexibility. Getting to the roof is not a disruptive and costly process, which is a huge advantage over loose lay systems. It is simply not possible to loose lay roll-out systems layer-by-layer on some roof areas due to access restrictions. , M-TRAY can reach the roofs other systems cannot reach.

Green Homes – Sustainability in Building

Sustainability in building is the new concept in the construction of buildings. The concept is based upon on designing and creation of new structures and the remodelling or renovation of existing ones using environmentally friendly approaches. Focus on Sustainability The result of focusing on sustainability throughout the construction of building is the how modern families can enjoy the comforts offered by green homes. Green homes are designed and put up using renewable materials coupled with use of alternative energy strategies. The approach focuses on the maximization of available resources while observing conversion and conservation, quality, and effective utilization. The maintenance and use of such buildings or homes are, in the long run, far simpler and easier, and with a smaller carbon footprint on the environment.

Helping Achieve Larger Clearances

Is your project suffering from problems relating to achieving larger clearances where regular, continual and irregular changes in height threshold cause issues? The significant proportion of roofs are built-to-falls specifically for drainage purposes. Where the level between the door threshold and the drainage outlet is significant, where the roof falls in more than one direction, where large drops or channels are present, or where there are multiple and complicated changes in the fall and levels across the roof – then the ASP range of Adjustable Support Pedestals are the perfect tools. Creating a Completely Flat Upper Paving Surface Wallbarn’s ASP adjustable support pads have been designed to provide a telescopic stem which is wound up and down to achieve a completely flat upper paving surface. Changes to height can be made whilst the slab is in place. This saves a great deal of time and labour. The rainwater runs between and under the slabs, so there is no standing water left on
