Carlisle SynTec introduces new roof garden system

Carlisle SynTec, a leading manufacturer of commercial roofing systems, introduces a new roof garden system that provides instant vegetative coverage. Carlisle's new Vegetated Sedum Tiles add another dimension to the Carlisle Roof Garden family by offering consumers immediate rooftop plant coverage on the day of installation. Sedum Tiles greatly expedite vegetative installation. After being dropped into place over Carlisle's Growth Media, the installation is complete. These unique tiles simplify installation and eliminate the need for landscapers as well as the tedious labor associated with planting a large roof area. Carlisle's Vegetated Sedum Tiles are shipped in a manner that prevents damage and mold, which ensures that a quality product is always delivered and installed. Sedum mats often arrive damaged and moldy due to the lack of air and compaction from the rolled packaging method. These tiles greatly reduce maintenance costs, as there is little room for airborne seeds to root. The need for watering is also greatly reduced because the tiles arrive already established. Four tile choices are available - All Season Mix, Tuff Stuff Mix, Shade Mix and Color Max Mix.
