In an era when environmental consciousness takes center stage, the significance of fostering green spaces and biodiversity cannot be overstated. As we collectively strive to make eco-conscious choices, the spotlight on sustainable solutions intensifies.
Did you know your bike shelter could also be a green space? Sedum roofing offers a seamless way to transform shelters into biodiverse environments, aligning with our collective environmental goals.
Sedum Roofing is a versatile, eco-friendly approach that transcends conventional roofing practices. Beyond mere shelter, it transforms spaces into thriving ecosystems while championing sustainability.
What exactly is sedum roofing, and why is it gaining traction? This comprehensive guide will help you explore the essentials and its benefits.
Sedum Roofing is not your typical rooftop; it is a living and breathing sanctuary that sits on top of buildings, transforming mundane spaces into vibrant and green spaces. Imagine your bike shelter or enclosure adorned with a dense sedum carpet, instantly elevating the aesthetics of any urban and residential setting.
The benefits of Sedum Roofing go beyond its beautiful appearance. These green roofs tackle urban challenges with finesse. They absorb stormwater, reduce flood risks, and quietly sequester carbon. Yet, it’s not just about function but also about fostering life. Sedum roofs are bustling hubs for wildlife, providing much-needed havens for insects like bees and butterflies while reducing the effects of urban heating.
In today’s world, where insect populations are decreasing, these green rooftops offer hope for revitalising ecosystems in city spaces. A leading UK report suggests flying insect numbers fell 64% between 2004 and 2002 (source) —with sedum roofing leading the charge. We can create thriving ecosystems and environments for insects to thrive amongst concrete-dense cities.
Our sedum roofing solution boasts exceptional drought resistance, requiring minimal maintenance. while inherently resilient, watering during dry spells, especially in summer, ensures its vitality. With a sensible approach, your sedum roof stays lust and healthy year-round.

Three layers work in harmony: a bonded filter fleece prevents drainage blockages, perforated retention cups encourage healthy growth while draining excess water, and a waterproof protection fleece adds an extra shield against runoff.
Rest assured, structural integrity remains reliable with a sedum roof.
With proper care, your Sedum Roof can live for up to 40 to 50 years – a testament to its durability and longevity.

I bought 5 of the vertical bike racks and they are exactly what I needed. We built a shed to s tore the bikes and the company was really helpful when I asked for dimensions and suggested distances between racks etc. One thing to note is that if a bike has a front mud guard it may not fit - we have had to remove it from my daughter's bike. Otherwise great product and good customer service. ...read moreread less

The sections arrived well packaged and on time. Building it just required a couple of basic tools and a picture from the website - it took me less than an hour. It is very sturdy, meets my needs, is space saving and allows all the bikes to be easily accessible. I would definitely recommend The Bike Storage Company. ...read moreread less
