Product details

Designed to water Extensive Green Roofs in private houses and gardens, the Green Roof Watering Kit is ideal for watering sedum and wildflower roofs on house extensions, garages, summerhouses, sheds and home offices.

The watering kit includes dripline to fit to the sedum blanket; a controller for automated watering and a back-flow prevention valve to comply with the Water Regulations.

Extensive green roofs using sedum blankets are a popular method of disguising home extensions and garden buildings and also provide an area for wildlife such as birds and butterflies to thrive, away from humans.

Sedum blankets are very thin and light, so dry out quickly. Although Sedums are drought tolerant, they will suffer during dry spells. If the blanket becomes very dry, it may also lift off the roof in strong winds. An automated watering system will water the roof regularly, ensuring the planting on the matting thrives.

Green Roof Watering Package Details

The packages use a sophisticated pressure compensated commercial quality drip watering line with spacers every 30cm to gently water the roof area. Drip lines run across the roof slope and are spaced either 50cm apart on flat roofs or 100cm apart on sloping roofs. The small package includes pipework to bring the water to the roof from an outside tap, along with a timer to fit onto the tap. On the large kit solenoid valves are provided to connect to a roof level water supply. The large kit has the option of wi-fi control of the system.

Initially the system should be operated daily until the sedum mat is established, then weekly during the watering season.
