Green Roofs, Brown Roofs & Blue Roofs
Green Roofs (Living Roofs)
Green roofs provide environmental, thermal, and visual benefits and are suitable for a wide range of developments. Systems can support low-maintenance sedum planting through to more intensive landscaped solutions, depending on project requirements.
All green roof installations are fully integrated with appropriate waterproofing systems, including root-resistant membranes, to protect the roof structure while supporting healthy plant growth. When correctly designed and installed, green roofs can contribute to biodiversity, improve thermal performance, and support planning and sustainability objectives.
Brown Roofs (Biodiverse Roofs)
Brown roofs are designed to replicate natural ground conditions, creating biodiverse rooftop habitats that support wildlife and ecological objectives. These systems also contribute to water attenuation and can assist with planning-led biodiversity requirements.
All brown roof systems are installed in conjunction with compatible waterproofing and protection layers to ensure the roof structure remains fully protected while supporting habitat creation. Installations are delivered in line with environmental and building regulations, ensuring a practical and compliant solution.
Blue Roofs (Stormwater Management)
Blue roofs are designed to temporarily store rainwater at roof level, helping to reduce surface water runoff and support SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) requirements. They provide an effective solution for managing stormwater in areas with limited drainage capacity or strict planning constraints.
Our blue roof installations incorporate compatible waterproofing systems, storage layers, flow control components, and overflows. Drainage calculations and system layouts are coordinated to ensure safe, controlled water retention and discharge, delivering reliable long-term performance.
