Leading the drive in green roofing. MOY has the green solutions. MOY, roof waterproofing system specialists are leading experts in green roof systems which include blue, brown, pollinator and habitat replacement roofing systems.
We are delighted to work with local councils and representative bodies who have a comprehensive directive for the establishment of a green network infrastructure. It is interesting to see who is leading the drive in green roofing as part of the drive to a zero emissions society and to reduce the overall carbon footprint for the betterment of society and future generations. We can follow those governments and councils which are incorporating a green build solution to their overall environment which can go beyond the comprehensive NZEB standards. It is impressive when representative bodies take the lead and we are fortunate to collaborate on a number of projects as system providers and advisors.
We came across a Scottish government publication that sites “Green roofs can provide and connect habitats for birds and insects, creating ecological corridors”. This is very true, positively we are seeing increased enquiries for sedum / green roofs, particularly in regions where every new build development has to consider a green roof element. Examples include those below are a set of lock ups in Scotland which we are working on with the roofing contractor to install a sedum roof to create a green solution which will encourage and connect wildlife. Stay tuned for completed project shots.

INTENSIVE
If the green roof is to be used as a recreational area, walked upon, or forms part of a landscaping aesthetic, then an intensive green roof would be preferable.The Paralon total green roof system is BBA certified as an assembly (achieved in conjunction with our Green Roof partners APP-Diadem), giving you peace of mind that you are choosing a green roof that will stand the test of time.
The drainage board depth is increased and the type of growth medium altered.
