Green should mean green
It makes sense to me that a green roofing system should utilise green components throughout and this system achieves that

Lightweight, Easy to Install, Natural look
I have had first hand experience of this product. It really is clean, lightweight, and easy to install. It seems to provide excellent value for money when compared to conventional roofing treatments. I really like the way this product and the “natural grown look” can be used to effectively disguise an ugly roof, and add interest to unsightly structures. It also provides a great wild habitat and traps and releases water back into the environment helping to prevent flash flooding. I would happily recommend this product

An sustainable, affordable aternative
This green roofing system is ideal for those wanting to cover that old tired corrugated asbestos roof and far cheaper than replacing it. It is lightweight, easy to install and really adds that little extra habitat for wildlife and it looks good!
It would be great to see old garage roofs covered with this across towns helping to bring back our green and pleasant land but also helping to assist with the rainfall drainage due to its slow release. Would definitely recommend.

A great System
I am aware of this system and have also seen a presentation and the technical information. This system stands out from other systems and I am more than happy to recommend and specify

About time we had this green roof option
The green roof industry has an important role to play in our urban environments. A light weight solution that is truly 'green' must be a welcome option for building contractors in the UK.

Highlights the advantages of the Riefa system over other green roof products
The article provides a good overview of why the Riefa system wins over conventional green roofing system. The Riefa system offers a lightweight, low profile solution thanks to its unique ryeflour fibreboard. I have seen the Riefa system deployed on several installations and can testify to the accuracy of the article.

Save the planet
“A simple solution for anyone looking to construct a new building or replace an existing roof where environmental considerations are important. Just don’t try and land your helicopter on it!”

An amazing product which is ecologically and aesthetically amazing.
I have recently attended a seminar where this product was demonstrated and was amazed at how effective it is. It looks great performs well and is great ecologically.

I have been very impressed by Paul's product demonstrations and when we have finally completed our agricultural building replacement programme will be adding some of Paul's green roof systems.
