- Enviromat Sedum Roof Kit
Enviromat sedum matting from Harrowden Turf was installed by a private client on the roof of their shepherd hut to create a living green roof.
Testimonial from Mr and Mrs Jarvis said: "Our Enviromat was delivered in June, installed the same day on to the curved roof of a Garden room or amazing space as we like to call it…"
"Our ‘amazing space' was designed and built by our neighbour, Rich Leeman, a fantastic cabinet maker. Our shepherd hut inspired ‘Ut as we call it has a curved roof which was a challenge to build but to show it off, my husband suggested using a living roof which we thought would finish it off superbly. Once we were ready to install, I ordered the Enviromat which was delivered 2 days later. The Enviromat was in 1m2 pieces making it easy to lift and install. We have a wood burner in the ‘Ut and the Enviromat fits nicely around that. The colour of the roof following installation was lush green, and a few weeks later it was awash with pinks and yellows which attracted butterflies and bees."
"We happened to have a few pieces left over so we built a wall made from Gabion Baskets and placed the left over Environmat on top of the baskets, it looks amazing."
"I have attached pictures of the roof following installation and now. I have also attached a picture of our Enviromat topped Gabion wall."
"We love the look of this roofing material and certainly recommend it."
