Green walls, living walls or vertical gardens can be defined as any type of vertical support or structures onto which plants grow up and off the ground, on the vertical rather than the horizontal plane.
Green Walls Advantages
IMPROVE AIR QUALITY
One of the most obvious benefits to green structure is the improvement in air quality for those in and around them. As we all know, living plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen which in essence purifies the air around you.
NATURAL SOUND PROOFING
The natural green structure acts as a sound barrier that reflects incoming sounds in different directions nullifying its effect. This is not only effectively used on exterior horizontal and vertical partition of buildings (near motorways and busy city streets) but on interior horizontal and vertical partition.
IMPROVE WELLBEING
A healthy environment is conducive to healthier and happier people that have more energy and are more positive. Green structures are helping to improve the overall quality of congested urban areas
PROTECTS BUILDINGS
Buildings that have urban gardens on their exterior walls are protected from the natural elements of wind, rain and sunlight. A green structure help mitigate and slow down the ageing process of your building and also makes it look better too!
ENCOURAGES BIODIVERSITY
Living structure are natural mini-ecosystems which encourage biodiversity.
