Green walls

Green walls come in different types, each with its own characteristics and applications. Depending on the location, maintenance level, and desired appearance, an appropriate system can be chosen. Below is an overview of the most common types of green walls.

In addition to lighting, irrigation is crucial for healthy plants in the green 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 consumption efficient.

The plant wall can also be irrigated via a water reservoir, a water supply placed at the bottom that needs to be refilled every two months. A timed pump provides water to the gutter profiles, for which a power connection is required.

The success of a living wall is highly dependent on the light conditions, as plants need sufficient 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 specially designed to provide the light spectrum that plants need for photosynthesis and healthy growth, regardless of the environment.

To determine whether the plants in the living wall are receiving enough light, it is important to measure the light intensity at the location. A lux meter can help you determine if additional artificial light is needed, with an optimal light intensity of between 500 and 2000 lux being essential for healthy plant growth. Need assistance?

In environments where every square meter counts, vertical greenery offers a space-saving solution. A living wall utilizes vertical space, preserving valuable floor space, unlike traditional plant boxes or pots. This makes the product particularly attractive for offices, shops, and hospitality establishments where efficient space usage is essential. Additionally, modular systems can be easily customized, making these green solutions flexible even in small spaces.

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 vapor into the air, which can increase humidity by 5-10%, especially in dry environments like air-conditioned offices. This results in less dry eyes, a more comfortable environment, and a healthier indoor climate. Plants such as Spathiphyllum, Monstera, and Ferns have the greatest impact in this regard.

Maintenance is essential to keep a living wall healthy and vibrant. In addition to regular watering, the plants also need nutrients to grow properly and maintain their air-purifying function. Pruning is also important to preserve the shape and density of the wall and to remove dead leaves. To make this easier, we offer the option to sign a maintenance contract with one of our specialized partners. They ensure the proper care, so your living wall remains in top condition.

We offer training, presentations, and ‘lunch & learn’ sessions for interior professionals and architects at our production facility in Bemmel. During these sessions, you will not only gain theoretical knowledge but also have the opportunity to view the production process in our social workshop, offering a unique chance to experience the process up close. These trainings can also be offered on-site or virtually, depending on your preference.
