EASY TO MAINTAIN
Less maintenance than modular green walls (though still recommended)
More and more architects, designers and developers are integrating green facades into Australian building projects. Just like their modular big brother the green wall , the green facade has the same eye-catching impact and delivers similar benefits. But rather than being grown in a network of pockets lined with growing medium, plants in a green façade are trained to climb up or around a trellis system. Yet as simple as it sounds to grow creepers up a wall, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to designing a green facade.
Designed to meet your expectations
As with any Fytogreen installation, your goals and expectations come first. These may be to soften architectural form, disguise an unattractive structure, create ambience and appeal or reap other greening benefits. We balance your needs with matters of site, structure and access, selecting plants that match the local climate, factoring in growth habits, sun, light and wind parameters, plus of course drainage and irrigation. As with any vertical garden project, a successful green facade system needs input from a range of different experts. At Fytogreen we have them all under one roof.
Fytogreen’s pre-grown green facade systems
Providing great foliage cover at installation instead of waiting up to 2-3 years, our pre-grown facade systems are cost effective, less prone to plant failure, independently certified for engineering suitability and have multiple attachment points. This makes placement safe, easy and reduces installation time.
With 12 months pre-growing you can achieve many benefits.
Facades in Planter Boxes
Available in both fire compliant aluminium and LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) our planter boxes are flexible containers for green facade planting. They come in a vast range of sizes, colours and shapes to fit your aesthetic – plus they’re lightweight, weatherproof and virtually indestructible.
