The concept of the modular green roof is an extension of the regular green roof & at Wallbarn we specialise in the manufacture and supply of top Component Green Roof Systemsquality materials that will help you produce a wonderful modular green roof.

Our modular green roofing systems provide all the benefits of prefabrication and off site preparation. Our modules (including the innovative M Tray) are pre-planted and grown in advance. They arrive at your project ready for installation by simply placing directly onto the roof surface or walls, either new build or existing. Lush growth ensures an established effect can be instantly achievable with less risk of plant failure.

Apart from how attractive a modular green roofs can look as the seasons change, there are a variety of other reasons why green roofs are becoming increasingly popular:-

• The environmental benefits, wildlife, carbon footprint, sustainablity etc.
• Building performance enhancements.
• The financial incentives can be substantial.

Our modular green roof module trays are designed with smaller areas & non professional installers in mind. We supply these as pre-grown units that are very easy to install.

To ensure that any modular green roof supplied by us is as easy to install as possible, the modules are stacked together enabling clean & fast delivery.

Features:

• Acts as thermal and sound insulation.
• Aesthetically pleasing.
• Protects from UV and climate degradation.
• Reduces rainwater run-off.
• Space for wildlife.

The period after installation is absolutely crucial & because our modules are already strong, healthy & well established they are subject to a much smaller risk of wind uplift or erosion in the immediate period after they have been installed.

Another positive of our modules is that if you have any problems with the deck beneath, individual sections can be removed with minimal disruption to the rest of the module.

Potential Financial Benefits

Due to the positive environmental impact of modular green roofs, the possibility exists of obtaining tax incentives which may help with the cost but if these prove to be unobtainable, many UK local councils are very keen to promote the use of Green Roofs and sometimes will not pass building permission until a percentage of the roof is a green roof.
