Welcome

This CD-ROM contains recommendations for constructing lightweight domestic green roofs using Enviromat Sedum Matting. Follow the links on the left hand side of the page for more information about simple extensive green roofs, what sort of building they can be fitted to, the necessary build-up, where to source materials and how to care for a green roof.

Commercial Green Roofing projects and living roofs greater than 50 square metres are not covered by this CD-ROM. They are more complex and should not be attempted without expert advice.

For information about commercial green roofing projects, or projects over 50 square metres, please contact Bauder on 01473 257671 or visit www.bauder.co.uk.
