Green Walls
Green walls, also known as living walls, vertical gardens or green facades, are carefully designed collections of plants that have been intricately planned and arranged to create organic pieces of art for your business premises. These beautiful features can thrive in both indoor and outdoor conditions and can serve a variety of spaces, big or small. As well as visually enhancing a space, these features bring many benefits for building occupants and visitors. The ideal environments for a green wall display are any meeting rooms, hallways, reception or breakout areas lacking in colour and texture.

Benefits of Green Walls
Improved air quality
Countless toxins are leaching from our indoor environment. These include formaldehyde, VOCs, trichloroethylene, carbon monoxide and benzene to name just a few. Adding office plants can improve indoor air quality. Interior green walls do just that but on a much bigger scale.
Noise level reduction
Living green wall structures can actually reduce the noise levels in buildings. Plants have been used, throughout the world, to reduce noise along roads and motorways. Green walls expand on this concept as the foliage naturally blocks high-frequency sounds. The supporting structure can reduce low-frequency sounds.
Energy cost reduction
Research has found that urban areas are considerably warmer than rural areas, especially during the summer months. This often leads to increased energy demands (air conditioners, for example), leading to air pollution and emissions. Living green walls help reverse this problem by providing shade from the effects of direct sunlight. Also, unlike brick or concrete, plant surfaces don’t store up solar energy, but reflect it. Both interior and exterior walls help to actively cool the air in summer by a process called evapotranspiration, reducing the need to cool the building.
WELL building credits/ certification
WELL is a building performance rating and certification system, with a focus on human well-being and employee productivity. This performance-based system was constructed around seven core concepts to measure, certify, and monitor our working environments. These seven concepts lay the foundation for maximising human health and wellness within the built environment.
The WELL Building Standard’s core concepts are: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Fitness, Comfort, Mind
Artificial Living Walls
In some cases, living plants may not be a suitable option for your particular display. This may be because of your maintenance budget, poor lighting or simply unsuitable temperature conditions. This is where artificial plants come in! We can use life-like replica plants to create incredibly realistic and visually stunning green walls. Only upon very close inspection could you tell that the plants were artificial. Continuous watering, trimming and other general maintenance are not required, making these great investments for any business looking to enhance their space and image.
Exterior Living Walls
Our exterior living wall system easily transforms cold walls into a warm, living surface. Using various (and suitable) planting options we can create a live exterior wall that suits not only your building but your business too. Let your creativity flourish with a beautifully designed exterior living wall by Ambius.
Exterior living walls can give buildings natural protection from, for example, temperature fluctuations and UV-rays. They can also divert water away from the walls of your building during any heavy rain-fall.
