HOW TO BUILD AN ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALL
Green walls are rapidly growing into one of the most beloved ways to breathe life into a space with biophilic design. In addition to the psychological benefits of a greener space, artificial green walls also serve as a canvas to define the character of your space and show off your brand. Because artificial green walls are so versatile and easy to customize, we’ve broken down our process to show you how to build an artificial green wall, and all the ways you can make it your own.
MAJOR GESTURES
The major gestures of a green wall are determined during the pre-construction phase, where influences like branding, theme, palette, and shape are folded into the design.
BASE LAYER
The base layer determines where the seams in the wall will be (if any) and assigns foliage types to the primary shapes of the green wall, and clusters prominent shades and colors.
DIMENSIONAL LAYER
Where the green wall comes to life; this layer includes a focus on 3d elements with dynamic depth that make the wall more realistic, organic, and substantial.
CUSTOM ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALLS
Green walls can be customized with almost any of our artificial plants, including flowers, garlands, ferns, and more. Create a clean, manicured green wall with tightly knit artificial boxwood, or make a wild organic wall bursting with creeping fig and draping ivy.
GREEN WALL PANELS
The heart and soul of our green walls lies in a simple modular design. Our green wall panels are designed in 12″ squares, using a flexible plastic mesh that can’t be seen from the front of the panel. These artificial foliage panels easily link together at the edges, creating a seamless surface of any size.
Our artificial green wall panels come in a variety of foliage types that can be mixed, matched and composed in any quantities. These panels can be easily cut to any shape to achieve custom designs and branding expressions.
Our design studio works with clients to create custom branded green walls and greenery murals at any scale – if you have a vision, we will make it happen.
FLEXIBLE DESIGN
Artificial green wall panels are built to succeed in any environment. Here’s a brief understanding of what they can do:
- Specially formulated PermaLeaf® and ThermaLeaf® materials make them ideal for or indoor and outdoor use.
- Flexible panels bend around curves and organic shapes.
- Pre-connected panels measuring up to 4′ x 7′ install in record time without specialized tools or knowledge
