Resin Bound Roof Gardens
Resin bound roof gardens are innovative and sustainable solutions that involve creating green spaces on rooftops using a resin bound surfacing system. This roof garden combines traditional rooftop gardens’ benefits with the durability and aesthetic appeal of resin bound surfaces. Here are some key features and benefits of resin bound roof gardens:
Surface Composition: Resin bound surfaces contain natural aggregates (such as crushed stone, gravel, or recycled materials) and a clear UV-stable resin. This creates a durable, permeable, smooth surface suitable for pedestrian and vehicular use.
Green Space Creation: Resin bound roof gardens transform flat or sloping rooftops into vibrant green spaces. These gardens can be designed with a variety of plantings, including grass, shrubs, flowers, and even small trees, depending on the structural capacity of the roof.

Benefits of Resin Bound Roof Garden
Stormwater Management: One of the significant advantages of resin bound roof gardens is their ability to manage stormwater effectively. The permeable nature of the resin bound surface allows rainwater to drain through the system, reducing the risk of flooding and minimising the load on urban drainage systems.
Thermal Benefits: Roof gardens, in general, provide excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter. They help to regulate indoor temperatures, leading to energy savings and a more comfortable living or working environment.
Noise Reduction: The combination of plants and the resin bound surface helps to absorb and reduce noise pollution. The vegetation acts as a natural sound barrier, making resin bound roof gardens particularly beneficial for buildings located in noisy urban areas.
