Green Roofs: Sustainable Design and Enhanced Performance

DCS Roofing Limited specialises in the installation of advanced Green Roof Systems, delivering environmentally conscious solutions that enhance biodiversity, manage stormwater, and provide tangible aesthetic value to modern buildings. We install fully certified systems that seamlessly integrate nature with the urban landscape.

Specialist Intensive Green Roof Systems

DCS Roofing Limited is highly proficient in supplying and fitting high-performance Intensive Green Roof Systems. These systems are designed to support deeper growing mediums, allowing for a wider variety of planting, including shrubs, trees, and heavy landscaping elements. If the Green Roof is intended to be used as a recreational area, frequently walked upon, or forms part of a sophisticated landscaping aesthetic, the specially blended growing medium required for intensive systems is the favourable option. Our core system comes with a full BBA (British Board of Agrément) certification and is suitable for installation on warm, cold, and inverted roof constructions.

Comprehensive Green Roof Solutions

Beyond intensive systems, we offer complete solutions across the Green Roof spectrum. This includes Extensive Green Roofs, which use a shallow layer of growing medium, requiring minimal maintenance and offering a lightweight, cost-effective option primarily for biodiversity and thermal benefits. We are also experts in hybrid solutions, integrating Green Roofs with Blue Roof technology to create combined stormwater management systems. This Blue-Green Roof approach allows the substrate to filter and absorb rainwater while the underlying structure provides temporary water attenuation, a crucial element for urban flood mitigation and compliance.

Environmental and Architectural Benefits

Installing a certified Green Roof through DCS Roofing Limited provides significant benefits to both the asset and the environment. The vegetation layer reduces solar gain, leading to a cooling effect in summer and improved insulation in winter, which directly lowers energy costs. Furthermore, Green Roofs reduce the volume and rate of surface runoff, lessening the burden on drainage infrastructure, and create new habitats for local flora and fauna, significantly boosting the building's environmental credentials. As approved installers for Bauder, a market leader in sustainable roofing, we guarantee that your Green Roof installation meets the highest standards for performance, longevity, and environmental integrity.
