Living walls are vertical structures covered with vegetation. The VGS Living Wall system uses modular panels made of a patented geotextile fabric to hold up to 49 plants per square meter in individual pockets. The panels can be installed rapidly on flat or curved surfaces and are irrigated through embedded driplines. The system is designed for quick installation to minimize disruption during commercial or residential projects.
1. Description
Living walls are vertical or near vertical structures that are
covered with vegetation.
The VGS Living Wall is a light-weight semi-hydroponic
modular panel system constructed from a patented
advanced geotextile fabric. Each square metre holds up to
49 plants in individual pockets. Each panel incorporates a
dripline to irrigate the plants through the fabric. Panels can
be fitted to flat or curved surfaces and are planted on site.
The system is designed for rapid installation by a small
specialist team, minimizing on-site disruption and downtime.
