Green Wall Benefits

Space Saving: green walls use minimal ground space to maximise living space.

Insulation: the small cavity between the green wall and wall surface remains at a relatively constant temperature.

Aesthetic Appeal: adds a natural beauty to any room, courtyard or building.

Energy Savings: the thermal barrier helps conserve energy by reducing the need for air-conditioning and heating

Acoustic Benefits: good phonic qualities that absorb sound waves.

Air Quality: acts as a bio-filter to capture and denature pollutants known as Volatile Organic Compounds - VOC's

Biophilia: interaction with plants has been shown to create a sense of wellbeing.

Water Recycling: plants can purify slightly polluted water such as Grey Water. Green walls can act as bio-filters removing pollutants.

Green Space: increase green space in the urban environment. Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect.
