What are vertical gardens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A vertical garden, also known as living walls or green walls, are innovative installations where plants are grown on vertical surfaces such as, your office building, apartment complex, parking garage, shopping centers and roof top terraces. A vertical garden is a smart solution, to incorporate green in an urban dense area.
The SemperGreenwall is an innovative green fa\u00e7ade system, applicable for both indoor and outdoor walls. Our vertical gardens can be tailored to your needs and wishes. Anything is possible due to our modular Flexipanel system. The vertical garden will create a direct green result because our systems are pre-grown in our own greenhouses. With the Smart Plant Care System, you can enjoy your green space worry free as we take care of irrigation management and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The environmental impact of vertical gardens <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vertical gardens have several positive environmental impacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Improved air quality<\/strong>: the plants in the vertical garden help absorb pollutants such as carbon dioxide. The plants filter particulate matter from the air and convert CO2 into oxygen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mitigation of the Urban Heat Island Effect: <\/strong>an outdoor living wall also has a positive influence on the heat-island effect in the city. Overall, it means a 37\u00b0C reduction in the city.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enhancement of biodiversity:<\/strong> vertical gardens can support a variety of plant species, promoting biodiversity in urban environments and providing a habitat for insects and birds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Noise reduction:<\/strong> the plants in the vertical garden act as natural sound barriers, absorbing and deflecting sound waves, which can help reduce noise pollution in busy areas. Based on tests, the indoor SemperGreenwall absorbs 85% of the ambient noise, creating a pleasant indoor environment*.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Rainwater management: <\/strong>a vertical garden absorbs rain water because the plants and substrate act as a water buffer. This delays the discharge of rainwater into the sewage system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Healthy indoor climate:<\/strong> greenery promotes a healthy indoor climate. Complaints such as irritated eyes, headaches, sore throats, and tiredness diminishes. There is also a noticeable decrease in absence due to illness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
