What is Sedum Roofing?

By Andrew Tweddle on 22nd August, 2011

There are many reasons to invest in a garden building, garden office or sunroom. It may be due to a new working from home regime, the need for more space, or just a place to enjoy your garden. Another reason, which is becoming more and more important to many people, is the idea of being environmentally friendly. Whether it’s the main reason, or just an additional benefit, eco-friendly garden offices are becoming increasingly popular. Here at Decorated Shed, we create garden buildings with numerous environmentally-friendly and sustainable factors taken into account.

One of these elements is sedum roofing, which is a very popular choice. Sedum roofing is essentially covering the roofs of the buildings in small plants, called sedum. They are preferred to covering the roof in grass, as they are much better at storing water in their leaves, which helps with the irrigation.

Sedum roofing is also a great way of blending the wooden structure of your new garden building in with the rest of your garden. The resulting effect creates a much better flow between the natural surroundings and the man-made garden building. Sedum is also popular because of how low maintenance it is. It requires little or no attention, which can be a big positive for those who don’t have the free time to tend to a high maintenance garden.

Sedum roofing is available on the majority of Decorated Shed buildings, depending on the project being undertaken. This addition would be the perfect finishing touch to your new, already environmentally-friendly garden building from Decorated Shed.
