Contract Greenwall Growing

ESD contract grow greenwalls; species are available for indoor and outdoor use. Our expert propagators determine the correct species to suit your wall location and aspect. We offer a variety of greenwall solutions, including Ecovert, Verti-Cool and fabric walls for indoor and outdoor use.

Growing Architectural Walls - Vertical Panels

• Buildings

• Freestanding walls

• Roadside sound barriers

Why Verti-Cool

In recent years, there has been an emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of mankind, and a greater focus on greener, more sustainable living.

One area of interest is to improve thermal insulation in buildings, therefore reducing energy requirements for heating or cooling. Another area is to reduce the net "carbon footprint" for the occupants of buildings, by offsetting C02 emissions with plants, and the urban heat island effect to cities.

Furthermore, buildings in urban and suburban areas have the detrimental impact of depriving habitat to native wildlife.

Verti-Cool provides panels that are suitable for buildings or form free standing walls, that grow plants. This unique structure is made from strong resin bonded gravel. The benefit of this vertical wall is it's as strong as brick, block or concrete walls.

Inside the panels is a long lasting mineral soil media, suitable for healthy plant and root growth. The wall panels contain an internal irrigation system that waters plants.

Verti-Cool is a modular vertical garden system that can withstand hard knocks when located near ground level to avoid damage from vandalism.

Verti-Cool Benefits

ü Strong wall suitable for office buildings, freestanding and sound barriers.

ü Plants provide a deterrent to graffiti.

ü Can be mounted at any height from ground to roof.

ü Reduces heating and cooling costs, thus CO2 output from buildings.

ü Low cost and replaces traditional walls.

ü Mimics nature by providing typical growing conditions for lithophyte and epiphytes as well as many suitable species.

ü Common materials available in all countries.

ü Architectural appeal of stone both visually and strength in construction.

ü Can be used as wall panels, being waterproof and save the cost of normal external walls or cladding, with the advantage of a vertical garden.

ü Capture and harvest rainwater with integrated irrigation and drainage system, using recycled water.

ü Can be built to suit any shape and size.
