Types of indoor living walls

Watering the living green wall
In addition to lighting, watering is crucial for healthy plants in the indoor living wall. Depending on the size of the wall, the gutters can be filled manually or automatically, with sensors providing water only when needed, making water use efficient.
The indoor green wall can also be watered via a water reservoir, a water supply placed at the bottom that needs to be refilled every two months. A timed pump ensures the water supply to the gutter profiles, for which an electricity connection is required.




Where can an indoor living wall be applied?
Indoor living walls are suitable for a variety of spaces and offer both aesthetic and functional benefits. They create a pleasant, natural environment and improve the indoor climate. Plant walls have the ability to dampen sound, which is especially useful in large, busy offices. This reduces echo and noise disturbance. Whether it’s workspaces, public spaces, or private environments, indoor living walls can create a fresh and calming atmosphere everywhere.
Lighting for indoor living walls
The success of an indoor living wall is highly dependent on the lighting conditions, as plants require adequate light to grow. In indoor spaces, natural light is often limited, especially in corners or rooms without windows. Lighting with a daylight spectrum, such as LED grow lights, is an excellent solution. These energy-efficient lamps are specifically designed to provide the light spectrum plants need for photosynthesis and healthy growth, regardless of the environment.
To determine whether the plants in the indoor living wall are receiving enough light, it is important to measure the light intensity at the location. Using a lux meter, you can determine if additional artificial lighting is necessary, with an optimal light intensity between 500 and 2000 lux being essential for healthy plant growth.

Space-saving
In environments where every square metre counts and rental prices can be as high as €625 per m²*, vertical greenery offers a space-saving solution. An indoor living wall makes use of vertical space, preserving valuable floor space, unlike traditional plant pots or containers. This makes the product particularly attractive for offices, shops, and hospitality venues where efficient use of space is essential. Moreover, modular systems are easy to customise, making these green solutions flexible, even in small spaces.


Acoustics: How indoor living walls absorb sound
Indoor living walls play an important role in improving the acoustics of indoor spaces. Due to the unique structure of plants and leaves, sound waves are absorbed and dispersed, reducing echoes and disruptive reflections. This is especially effective in busy office spaces, waiting rooms, and schools, where silence and concentration are essential. Research by Peutz bv shows that the LivePanel system significantly reduces reverberation time and decreases sound reflections, particularly in the frequency range crucial for speech intelligibility.

Read the full study hereHow indoor living walls improve humidity
Indoor living walls not only enhance the appearance of a space but also actively contribute to a healthier indoor climate. Through the process of transpiration, plants release water vapour into the air, which can increase the humidity by 5-10%, especially in spaces with dry air, such as offices with air conditioning. This results in less dry eyes, a more comfortable environment, and a healthier indoor climate. Plants such as Spathiphyllum, Monstera, and Ferns have the most significant impact in this regard. Want to know exactly how this works and which plants are most effective?




Installation indoor green walls
Installing an indoor green wall requires a sturdy and suitable substrate, as the system, including plants and substrate, carries some weight. Depending on the type of indoor living wall, a water connection and drainage may be needed, particularly with automatic irrigation systems. For locations without a direct water connection, there are systems with an integrated water reservoir. Additionally, good lighting is essential, especially in spaces with little natural light, to ensure the plants grow optimally. Our partners ensure professional installation and advise on the best technical solution for your space.
Maintenance of indoor green walls
Maintenance is crucial to keep an indoor living wall healthy and vibrant. In addition to regular watering, plants also need nutrients to grow well and maintain their air-purifying function. Pruning is also important to maintain the shape and density of the wall and remove dead leaves. To make this easy to manage, we offer the option to sign up for a maintenance contract with one of our specialised partners. They will ensure proper care so your indoor living wall stays in top condition.




Plant selection for indoor living walls
The choice of plants for an indoor living wall depends on the light conditions in the space. There are various design possibilities: you can choose a wild mix of diverse plants for a natural look, a structured pattern for a more sleek appearance, or a uniform planting in one colour for a calm and consistent effect. It is also possible to incorporate a custom logo into an indoor living wall, with plants carefully positioned to accentuate the design.
Indoor living wall training for interior professionals and architects
We offer training, presentations, and ‘lunch & learn’ sessions for interior professionals and architects at our production facility in Bemmel. During these sessions, you’ll not only gain theoretical knowledge but also have the opportunity to view production in our social workshop, offering a unique chance to experience the process up close. These training sessions can also be offered on location or virtually, depending on your preference.
