Wildflowers on a Biodiverse rooftop

BauderBIODIVERSE Green Roofs

Biodiverse roofs are designed to create a wide range of different habitats to support flora, insects and small fauna.

BauderBIODIVERSE Green Roofs

Biodiverse roofs are designed to create a wide range of different habitats. This includes undulating substrates, stone and dead wood piles, bare sandy areas and dew ponds. This matrix of different habitats allows the broadest range of flora and fauna to thrive.

Bauder has worked with the charity Buglife to produce specifications that ensure the roof areas maximize their ecological potential. 

BauderBIODIVERSE Green Roofs

When to specify

Lightweight extensive biodiverse green roof vegetation meets the growing demand for native species vegetation to contribute to BREEAM assessment ratings or a biodiversity strategy for Urban Greening Factor (UGF) and Biodiveristy Net Gain (BNG)

The different wildflower vegetation options range from pre-cultivated native species blanket, to plug plants or seeds depending on the desired finish when construction is completed and budget.

Plus points
  • British native vegetation options comprise seed mixes, plug plants, and wildflower blanket.
  • Meet Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP) and Urban Greening Factor (UGF), or planning requirements for the building's location.
  • Contributes to BREEAM assessment ratings.
  • Specification embraces all elements of the waterproofing, green roof components, and planting scheme.
  • Comprehensive range of guarantee packages to fulfil cover requirements (dependent on system/product selection).
Verified properties
  • FLL Guidelines
    Substrate meets FLL European Standards.
  • Green Roof Organisation (GRO)
    Best practice standards adopted in the design of a BauderBIODIVERSE green roofs.
