The specification

Practical challenges such as the reduction of noise pollution and maximising the building’s lifespan were all met by the Bauder Total Green Roof System with an extensive landscaping of sedum. The planting scheme provided instant coverage as the sedum was laid as pre-cultivated vegetation mats. 

Green roofs have excellent acoustic qualities for both external sound (up to 3dB) and internal noise (up to 8dB). This proved essentially in the selection of the Xero Flor blanket due to the proximity of Fort Dunlop to Birmingham Airport.

The result

The entire solution provided a watertight installation in conjunction with a 20-year guarantee whilst making the structure both environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing.

Bauder Total Green Roof System (BTGRS)

BTRS is a fully bonded system suitable for new build and refurbishment projects within warm and inverted roof constructions with a choice of insulations; also used as a system to overlay an existing roof that is thermally reliable and still meets current standards. The system uses BauderPLANT E when a green roof is specified to form the Bauder Total Green Roof System (BTGRS).
