Britain's best source of building product information

The Flat Roof Alliance (FRA) and The Mastic Asphalt Council (MAC) have pledged their formal support for the Green Roof Campaign. The campaign, fronted by Dusty Gedge and sponsored by Permanite Engineered Roofing Systems, aims to increase support for a solid government policy on green roofs in the UK, whilst raising the awareness of green roof technology amongst the general public. There is growing interest in how green roofs can be developed into the building fabric in the UK. The Green Roof Campaign aims to lobby at local, regional and national level to raise awareness and ensure policy makers embrace this proven technology. The campaign was launched at Ecobuild. The opinions canvassed revealed: a 2:1 preference of incentives (29 %) over legislation (14%) with grants being the preferred incentive type, slightly ahead of tax relief. However, 22% of those surveyed believe that a mixture of legislation and incentives is needed.
