The Wildflower Blanket Green Roofing System from Sky Garden will transform your roof into a biodiverse habitat for wildlife and is an incredibly beautiful feature to enhance your latest building project. Sky Garden's wildflower blankets are sown with a seed mix of 38 species of wildflower and grass to fill your roof with vivid and varied colour. The flower species have been specially chosen to be robust enough to withstand harsh rooftop conditions and will increase biodiversity, providing a habitat for insects and birds while improving air quality and reducing surface rainwater runoff.
These system kits are designed to be easily installed with minimal tools and no roofing experience is required. All you need to do is simply lay down the living roof blanket on a roof with up to a 12 degree pitch.
For instructions, please see the attached installation documents in our Technical Information section, including a step-by-step guide.
Composition:

Wildflower Blanket Systems include:
Although the flowers are not in bloom throughout the year, the winter months still provide a green finish throughout the roof area.
Will a green roof affect waterproofing?
Green roofs should be installed on surfaces that are already waterproofed, but the addition of a green roof should help extend the roof's lifespan. Green roof drainage systems will ensure there is no pooling of water.
What roof pitch can green roofs be installed on?
Sky Garden systems have been designed to use on any pitch, from flat roofs to steeply sloping roofs.
Do I need to reinforce my roof due to the added weight?
Green roof systems will add approximately 100kg/m2, depending on the system. Most roof structures will cope with this, but it's worth checking with a structural engineer first.
Do green roofs need watering?
The plants used are drought-resistant and hardy, so should not need regular watering.
How much maintenance is required?
Sedum roofs require very little maintenance, apart from clearing gutters and occasional weeding. Wildflower roofs may need strimming in autumn.
