2.31 Sedum MatsA sedum mat is a base layer of Polyester, Hessian, or porous polythene onto which is laid20mm of growing medium. This is sprinkled with sedum cuttings and these grow into thesubstrate to maturity. When installed the Sedum blanket (including the 20mm of growingmedium) is rolled out onto either 50 – 70mm of growing medium (standard method) ordirectly onto a moisture retention blanket (ultra light weight method).Figure 6: Sedum Mat System (Ultra Light-weight) [5]2.32 Substrate Based Roof70mm to 80mm of crushed recycled brick is placed on the green roof system and plug plantedwith sedums or hydro-seeded with other species. This type of green roof system contradictsthe notion that green roofs are generally made of turf.Figure 7: Extensive Hydro Seeded [5]Niall Carroll Page 18The Thermal and Rainwater Runoff Performance of an Extensive Green Roof System
2.33 Green/Brown Roofs for BiodiversityThese are extensive green roofs that are designed to meet specific biodiversity targets. Thesegenerally require a bespoke designed system using locally characteristic substrates and plants.They can also make use of recycled aggregate from site and be left to colonise naturally orseeded with an annual wildflower mix or local seed source.Figure 8: Green Roof System for Biodiversity [5]Niall Carroll Page 19The Thermal and Rainwater Runoff Performance of an Extensive Green Roof System
