Lisapolisa Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ok guys,So I need your opinion on this....Im thinking of getting a Green/Eco roof however I'm not sure whether or not this is a good idea? Have any of you had one or thinking about getting one yourselves?Apparently they last 3x as long as a normal roof and they decrease water drainage by 80%. I quite like the idea of having a garden on my roof; it would be very aesthetically pleasing and fun to be a part of unlike a normal roof however it can be a bit pricey! How much is too much???Can any of you shed some light on this????Thanks :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43235-eco-roofing-advice-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

3cows Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Heh there - I have a green roof and am really pleased with it. I got a little stuck between the person putting the roofing in, the person providing the roofing system and the chap putting the plants in. SO I would just make sure you have one overall contractor who can do the whole thing and give you one guarantee.I also went for grass and wild flowers which is a little more high maintenance but looks very cool compared to sedum.Hope this helps - J Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43235-eco-roofing-advice-please/#findComment-740423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisapolisa Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I was just wondering if there was any red tape with regards to planning and us being in Dulwich, i know they can be a little fussy with the overall 'look' of our houses. Im really in two minds about it :s Although they do look like a lot of fun and my kids would love it...
