What is a Sedum Roof?
Sedum Roofs, often referred to as green roofs or living roofs, are a remarkable addition to your Composite Garden Building or Granny Annex.
These unique roofing systems bring the beauty and benefits of nature to the very top of your structure, turning your outdoor space into a captivating, eco-friendly area.
A Sedum Roof consists of a carefully designed and cultivated layer of low-growing, drought-resistant sedum plants, which thrive in the rooftop environment. These plants are chosen for their ability to flourish in a shallow, well-drained growing medium, making them a perfect choice for your garden building.

It's more than just a roof; it's a symbol of your commitment to a greener, more vibrant, and more fulfilling way of life.
Your Composite Garden Building or Granny Annex deserves to be more than just a structure; it should be a living masterpiece. With a Sedum Roof, you transform your rooftop into an ever-changing canvas of natural beauty. It's a work of art that shifts with the seasons, painting your environment with an array of colours and textures. It captivates the eye, enriches your surroundings, and creates a sense of wonder.

Enviromat® Sedum Roof Benefits
Unveiling the Multiple Benefits and Advantages of Sedum Roofs with Composite Garden Buildings
Environmental Sustainability
Sedum Roofs are eco-friendly and contribute to a more sustainable environment. They absorb carbon dioxide and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making them a positive choice for combating climate change.
Natural Insulation
These roofs provide effective insulation, helping to regulate temperatures within your composite garden building. In summer, they keep the interior cool, while in winter, they offer added warmth, which can lead to reduced energy costs.
Stormwater Management
Sedum Roofs absorb and filter rainwater, reducing stormwater runoff. This helps prevent flooding, eases the load on drainage systems, and minimizes soil erosion, improving overall water management.
Biodiversity Support
Sedum Roofs offer a habitat for various insects and birds. By promoting biodiversity, they play a role in supporting local wildlife and contribute to the ecological balance in urban areas.
Low Maintenance
These roofs are remarkably low-maintenance. Once established, they require very little attention. They are drought-resistant and need minimal pruning or care, making them a hassle-free choice.
Aesthetic Appeal
Sedum Roofs enhance the visual appeal of your building or outdoor space. They create a green, living landscape that changes with the seasons, providing year-round beauty and an attractive, calming environment for both residents and visitors.
