Artificial Living Wall

Biophilic texture with controlled maintenance planning

Artificial living wall assemblies are often selected when a project needs strong visual greenery without irrigation infrastructure. According to the EPA, outdoor water use accounts for nearly 8 billion gallons daily nationwide, primarily for landscaping. Our UV-stabilized polyethylene panels eliminate that demand while delivering biophilic impact — research from the University of Exeter found enriching spaces with greenery increases occupant productivity by 15% (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2014). We scope each layout around access points, lighting conditions, and long-term appearance goals.
