Artificial Roof Garden Project in Manchester, UK

Artificial Roof Garden

While Vistafolia’s panels are best suited to a vertical surface, they are perhaps more versatile than you might think. When our designers start to get creative, stunning results are often produced and this example is no exception.

Vistafolia® were tasked with providing a horizontal solution for this roof garden in Manchester, UK. Real plants weren’t an option because of issues with ongoing maintenance and weight restrictions. Indeed, a living green roof can weigh upwards of 250kg per m²which wouldn’t have been suitable in this instance. The client needed a solution for year-round greenery, with the main purpose of improving the view from the apartment windows that overlooked the roof.

By installing a mixture of Vistafolia® panels, artificial turf and pebbles to the roof, we were able to create a stunning artificial roof garden with no requirement for ongoing maintenance. Our expert team were able to complete the whole installation in just one week, including customizing panels on site with extra ultra-realistic faux foliage to give extra height to the panels.

By adding the garden to the roof, the developer was able to raise the asking price on the adjacent properties and the whole project paid for itself with the additional revenue created.

Why Choose Vistafolia?

3-PANEL SOLUTION

Our 3-panel solution combines our A, B and C panels for randomised foliage placement. This means there’s no repetitive patterns.

NO JOIN LINES OR SQUARES

Our panels seamlessly interconnect, and due to the varying patterns and compact planting, you will never see visible join lines or squares.

RICH COLOURS & TONES

We pride ourselves on our hyper-detailed artificial foliage. Each of our panels are packed with lush greenery and splashes of vibrant colours (if you wish).

DIFFERENT VARIETIES & TEXTURES

To ensure a rich tapestry of texture, there are 72 lush plants per panel and 16 different varieties of plant included – all varying in height.

Sustainable Green Walls

Through our internal research and innovation, our artificial green wall panels can be recycled and re-purposed for a different means, making Vistafolia the only artificial plant wall supplier with the knowledge and ability to do this.
