Installing a sedum roof using Enviromat
What is Enviromat? How do you fix the matting without damaging the roof? Health and Safety considerations.
Caring for a Sedum Roof
What’s involved? Should I feed it? What with and when? We visit the production fields so that you can learn how Enviromat is grown, see the species and handle the matting.
