GREEN ROOFING -
AN ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENT THAT BENEFITS EAST CENTRAL SCOTLAND INCLUDING EDINBURGH, FIFE, BORDERS AND LOTHIANS
Green roofing is a great way to make your roof a haven for wild plant-life and reduce your carbon footprint. We create stylish solutions in Gorebridge and across the Central Belt.
WHAT IS GREEN ROOFING?
Green roofing is exactly what it sounds like; a living green space on your roof. Whilst green roofs are best suited to commercial properties, they can work just as well for homes, particularly if you are a budding gardener with limits to space. Made up of durable, climate-appropriate plants and materials, they are a great way to invest in your environment, even if you don't have a garden.
From improving air quality to creating your own pocket of nature in an urban landscape, B & D Roofing & Building is here to talk you though the best options for your budget and requirements.
Highly recognised in Gorebridge, we install green roof solutions across the Central Belt. Get in touch today for your free, no-obligation quote.
We serve East Central Scotland including Edinburgh, Fife, Borders, and Lothian.
EXTENSIVE
Extensive green roofing systems are constructed using a low maintenance sedum planting (succulents) grown on a ‘blanket’ that is installed by rolling it out on top of the roof like turf. It provides excellent cover, together with increased protection to the waterproofing system, and it is an exceptionally lightweight solution making it ideal for retrofitting or refurbishment projects.
The vegetation blanket delivers instant greening of a roof with sedums and other species that are able to flourish in our climate and provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance to non-trafficked roofs.
INTENSIVE
Intensive green roofing is more than a stylish roofing solution. It allows you to effectively and naturally control the effects of heavy rainfall, improve your home’s insulation and even help to lower urban air pollution and temperatures.
Whether you want to completely or partially cover your roofing with a quality intensive green roof, B & D Roofing & Building is on hand to guide you towards the perfect installation for you, your home and your local environment. Why not take your green roofing plans even further and opt for one of our biodiverse roofs?
