Sedum Matting

Pre-grown sedum blankets for instant green roofs. Lightweight, low-maintenance, and ideal for residential, commercial, and public sector projects.

Sedum Matting, also known as Sedum Blankets, provides an instant, low-maintenance green roof solution for residential, commercial, and public sector projects. Pre-grown with a diverse mix of hardy, drought-tolerant sedum species, each blanket is fully established within a lightweight substrate and biodegradable carrier, delivering immediate visual impact and long-term performance.

Supplied rolled and palletised for ease of transport and installation, Sedum Matting is ideal for flat and gently sloped roofs, from small garden buildings and garages to large-scale green roof installations on offices, warehouses, schools, and local authority developments.

With a typical depth of 30mm, increasing to up to 80mm during the growing season, Sedum Matting supports biodiversity, rainwater attenuation, urban cooling, and improved thermal performance. Sold by the square metre and available in convenient roll sizes, it allows precise planning for projects of any scale.

  • Ensure roof structure is suitable for saturated load before installation
  • Install onto a correctly prepared green roof system including drainage and protection layers
  • Lay blankets tightly together with staggered joints for seamless coverage
  • Water thoroughly after installation to encourage root establishment
  • Irrigate during prolonged dry periods, especially in the first growing season
  • Avoid foot traffic except for maintenance access
  • Remove wind-blown debris and unwanted weeds periodically
