Individual Plug Plants are a useful way of establishing a green roof.

BauderEXTENSIVE PLANTsubstrate

A variety of planting options are available with this system, and the specifier can select from vegetation blankets, plug plants or seeded .

BauderEXTENSIVE PLANTsubstrate

Vegetation is planted on a depth of substrate for a selected finish.  There are options for a pre-cultivated wildflower vegetation blanket which gives instant coverage, a seed mix that will establish over a two year period or individual plug plants can be used when the client wishes to choose a particular type and species of vegetation. 

A traditional extensive substrate system provides a depth of growing medium of around 120 mm to allow for specification of a broader range of species and planting schemes.

When to specify

Primarily specified on new build construction as this substrate system supports vegetation with deeper root systems that require substrate depths of around 120 mm.

Ideal when the vegetated finish is required to meet specific requirements, including BREEAM, Urban Greening Factor (UGF) and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), and planning conditions. The vegetation can be chosen to suit the location and the client's desires for a planned layout of specific plants.
