Living Roof PRODUCT OVERVIEW Living Roof Products from Fixfast
The Living Roof accessories Providing a range of positive effects for buildings Even today the opportunities of Green Roofs are still underestimated. The natural look is only one obvious credit within the broad range of arguments for Green Roofs. Further benefits of Green Roofs include the protection of waterproofing, water retention, thermal insulation, improvement of the climatic environment as well as new natural habitats for flora and fauna. No other architectural style provides such a wide range of positive effects for buildings, inhabitants, and the environment. Thus, Green Roofs meet one of the essential conditions of sustainable development, the reconciliation between economy and ecology. It is very difficult to find positive arguments for bare or gravelled roofs. Lower building costs for Non-Green Roofs in comparison to a Green Roof, are weak arguments considering it is only a short term calculation.

GravelBond GravelBond is a unique colourless adhesive. This product is ideal for bonding river wash ballast or slate chippings on polymeric single ply roof membranes or bitumen membranes in a Green Roof application. The solution ensures that the gravel stays in position on the roof especially during strong winds when gravel could easily be lifted off the roof onto vehicles or people on the ground. It also ensures stones are not kicked off the roof by mistake. GravelBond is supplied in 33kg canisters, with consumption of approximately 1.0 kg/m² on 5cm high gravel covering.
