EPDM Green Roof

The low slope design dictated the use of a contact adhesive to fully adhere this roof design. Plytech’s spray contact adhesive was used for ease and speed of installation and was also necessary for the upstands designed for the roof edging. Once the area was waterproofed RoofSmart helped to design a system to stop the weight of the soil causing it to slide down the roof. They eventually decided upon a simple solution by using galvanised straps to fix timbers halfway down the roof slope and this held the weight of the soil for the top half of the Green Roof. Sedum was distributed over the surface and has since grown into a very attractive green roof.

We used a black QuickTrim rubber roof trim edge detail that will also support as a mechanical fixing around the perimeter of the roof area. The Quicktrim Check Kerb and Drip Edge details were applied for a sleek finish for this rubber flat roof installation.
