ANS Exterior Living Green Wall System

2.0 out of 5 stars2.0(7 reviews)

A living wall system that is natural-soil based with 96 plants per square metre allows us to realise buildings that actively improve urban biodiversity and air quality, and solve environmental regulatory challenges such as Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Urban Greening Factor (UGF).  Where space is at a premium an organic vertical garden is the perfect solution to provide valuable ecological benefits and create a long-term environmental asset.

We design to the purposes of the project, whether it's for air quality, aesthetics, biodiversity or acoustics.  Using soil gives us a greater plant selection, allows us to be creative with design (for example, select specific flowering plants), and ensures plant resilience and longevity.   Our automated irrigation system is supplied with the system and calibrated to suit the conditions.  This can be monitored remotely.

This external building facade build-up system uses aluminium batons and is suitable for any external wall application.  We also provide advice on how to integrate the living wall/s into the facade to make a cost saving.  The build-up shared here is our most popular option, however we do have other options - just get in touch to find out more.

(Did you know that just 20m2 of our living wall is equivalent to a medium sized tree in terms of carbon sequestered?)
