Artificial Green Walls Glasgow, Scotland

The curved designs on this new modern extension to the Glasgow Fort Shopping Center presented a huge but exciting challenge. The landscape architects specified Vistafolia® in order to be able to put a realistic artificial green wall in place of living greenery on the side elevations of this very windswept site. The finished effect needed to look natural through all seasons in Scotland, yet also be robust enough to withstand the exposed site and unusual arc of the planting surface. Our artificial green wall product was chosen because it was the only one made to ISO9001 standards, and the only one tested to the toughest standards on the market and designed to last, even when in full sun. 

Solution

The Vistafolia® system is versatile enough to be able to bend into shape to overcome the challenge of attaching the product to the curved structure of the building. Using our own unique fixings, the building contractors were able to attach aluminium strips at four points to securely anchor the planting, and the relatively light weight of the faux greenery panels meant that any potential weight issues were overcome. The speed at which our panels can be fixed meant that the planting could be installed quickly and efficiently towards the end of the project.

Vistafolia’s lush foliage looks natural in all seasons in Scotland. The mix of 16 different species meant the greenery had a lot of variety from tall grasses to broader leaf shapes to tiny white flowers that will not look out of place in the winter months or mid-summer. Because of the way the panels are made, they give the appearance of a natural-looking growing pattern and when the wind blows through the foliage it looks alive. The installation was finished using artificial foliage from our exciting texture box range.

Do you have your own project that would benefit from an artificial green wall in a shopping mall or on a commercial project? Or perhaps even something for your own home?
