Eco-Friendly Green Roofs for Sustainable Urban Living

Green roofs generally fall into two main categories: extensive green roofs and intensive green roofs. Our green roof systems are designed as extensive green roof kits, making them an ideal solution for homes, carports, garages, garden buildings, and other structures with lower load-bearing capacity. Featuring a shallower growing substrate and lightweight design, extensive green roofs are typically planted with sedum, mosses, and drought-tolerant grasses, creating an attractive, low-maintenance living roof that delivers environmental benefits without excessive weight.

Our extensive green roof kits also provide effective rainwater management and sustainable drainage (SuDS) performance. The Lightweight Green Roof Kit can store up to approximately 25 litres of water per square metre (25L/m²), while the Green Flat Roof Kit offers water storage of up to approximately 31 litres per square metre (31L/m²). By slowing rainwater runoff, these systems help reduce pressure on drainage networks while supporting biodiversity and improving urban green space.

In contrast, intensive green roofs are designed to support larger plants such as shrubs, bushes, and trees. These installations require deeper substrates and stronger structural support, making them more suitable for larger commercial or infrastructure projects. While intensive roofs can retain significantly more water, extensive green roofs remain the preferred choice for many residential and light commercial applications thanks to their lightweight construction, easy installation, and cost-effective long-term performance.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
