Discover GreenRoofs—an innovative and lightweight solution for creating beautiful Sedum living roof systems. Our kits are ideal for urban settings and can be installed on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
What’s Included in Our Kits
Each GreenRoofs kit contains essential layers for a successful living roof:

Additional Protection: For unprotected wooden roofs, we recommend adding a 1.5mm thick Rubber EPDM layer. This option is available during the ordering process. We also offer Steel and Aluminum edge retention trims in various colors, sold separately.
Easy Installation or Professional Help
Our kits are designed for simple self-installation. However, if you prefer professional assistance, just contact us. We are ready to help with the design and installation of your GreenRoofs project, no matter the size.
Tailored to Your Needs
GreenRoofs kits are available in square meters (m²) to match your requirements. Each kit includes:
- Fully grown Sedum carpet layer
- Capillary moisture fleece layer
- Knauf rockwool growing medium layer
- HDPE recycled plastic drainage layer
You can also opt for the EPDM layer, with or without adhesives—just select your preference from the drop-down menu. We strongly recommend the EPDM rubber layer for durable roof protection, which can prevent leaks for over 50 years.
How to Calculate Your Requirements
To determine how much GreenRoofs Sedum living roof system you need, use this formula:
- Living Roof Width: 10m
- Living Roof Length: 15m
- Total Square Metres: 10m x 15m = 150m²
Enter 150 in the quantity box and click ‘add to cart’.
After placing your order, we’ll contact you to arrange a delivery date. All materials will arrive directly from the manufacturer on pallets, ready for installation at your convenience.
Important: Please don’t leave the sedum rolled up on the pallet for more than three days, especially in summer. If you’d like our professional installers to handle everything, just reach out for a quote and to schedule a date.
