Green Roofs There are many forms of living roof but for ease of explanation they tend to fall into 2 main categories: Extensive and Intensive. A description of what that actually means can be found below with the addition of the bio-diverse roof which is fast becoming the covering of choice for many developments. These categories are fine for quick and simple reference but many feel that they are restrictive as it's common practice to combine two or more types on a single installation. Extensive – an extensive living roof is not normally intended for human use and is unquestionably the most popular form. It’s relatively cheap to install, has lower weight loadings and requires minimal maintenance. Usually the plants are set in a light-weight growing medium or substrate of a depth of between 20mm and 150mm. The plants themselves tend to be highly resistant to drought, ground hugging species such as sedum. Intensive – intensive living roofs are very much intended for human use and as such take on a more ‘landscaped’ feel with deeper substrates (at least 150mm up to a metre and beyond) catering for a wide variety of grasses, shrubs and trees. Maintenance is both essential and regular as lawns need mowing and shrubs pruning – an irrigation system should also be installed. Bio Diverse/Semi Extensive – the principles behind these types of roof are driven by ecological concerns. Pioneered by the Swiss, the bio-diverse roof is steadily becoming a more common feature as policy makers seek to replace lost habitats for local flora and fauna. Sometimes known as ‘eco’ or ‘brown’ roofs they do not always cater for everyone’s tastes.
