Application

For living roofs.

Description

Pro-Living® Wildflower Blanket is a vegetation blanket that contains a wide variety of wild flowers, resulting in varied and colourful vegetation on the roof. With an array of environmental benefits such as absorbing rain water, capturing pollutants and atmospheric deposits and providing a natural habitat for local wildlife.


Pro-Living® Wildflower Blanket is a soil-free wildflower system developed to reduce irrigation, reduce water run-off, improve insulation and cooling of buildings and thrive in an exposed environment. This blanket is nursery grown to produce a mat of wildflower plants that retains 100% of its root system.


The blanket is made up of UK native wildflowers and grasses, with a minimum of 75% wildflowers although bespoke mixes are produced to order.


The soil-less growing technique uses an inert, pH modified, low nutrient, compost based growing medium that is compatible with all Proteus Waterproofing products.


A fine degradable net is incorporated in the root zone of the blanket to provide stability and strength, whilst maintaining a relatively lightweight roll ranging from 15–20 kgs/m² (depending on maturity and moisture content when lifted).
