New green curved roof sustainable option

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jun 10, 2005

New green curved roof at Brittas Bay pitches towards sustainable option.

Castletimon Stud, Brittas Bay is an eye-catching residential property that has become the talk of the town.

The extensive green roof was supplied by Bauder to give a technically sound, pitched curved roof that is long lasting, easy to maintain and minimises environmental impact.

The green roof finish is constructed from small plants called sedums that are delivered to site in "turf-like" format.

These are rolled and fixed on to a waterproofing build up made from recyclable materials and are installed by Approved Contractors who have been trained by Bauder operatives.

"The low pitched and curved nature of the roof enabled us to seek alternative options to that of the normal roofing solution".

"A sedum roof proved the most attractive with its seasonal colour changes enabling the building to integrate into the beauty spot of the Wicklow Mountains and help facilitate planning permission".

"The end result justifies our decision and the client's faith in the product as the building sits softly into its setting whilst meeting all the technical requirements".

"Bauder provided a superior service throughout the project and their expert advice was invaluable." Michael Freeley, property Owner, Castletimon Stud.
