The system determines how much load the wall carries, which services have to reach it, how often someone has to get up there to look after it, and how many years it lasts. Two walls that look identical on handover day can behave very differently by their third summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are the families used in practice, with what each one solves well and what it does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/living-wall-systems\/#The_families_of_living_wall_systems\" >The families of living wall systems<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/living-wall-systems\/#1_Climbers_on_a_support_structure\" >1.

Climbers on a support structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planting is rooted in the ground or in planters at the base of the facade and climbs a trellis, cables or mesh. It is the cheapest option and the lightest on the wall, because the ground carries the weight rather than the envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In exchange, full coverage takes years, the achievable height is limited, and the palette narrows to climbing species. It does not let you design with planting; it lets planting cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Modular_systems_on_a_textile_carrier\"><\/span>2. Modular systems on a textile carrier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plants grow in pockets or chambers of a multi-layer textile carrier fixed to a sub-frame anchored to the wall, with automated drip irrigation. This is the professional standard on facades and in interiors of any scale: full coverage from day one, an almost unrestricted plant palette, and the ability to design the planting pattern species by species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It requires a calculated sub-frame, a water supply, power for the irrigation controller and maintenance access designed in from the start. It is the technology we work with: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/fytotextile-living-wall\/\">Fytotextile\u00ae system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Hydroponic_systems_without_substrate\"><\/span>3. Hydroponic systems without substrate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roots develop on an inert carrier and all nutrition arrives dissolved in the irrigation water. These reduce weight and allow very precise control of nutrition, but dependence on the irrigation system is absolute: a prolonged failure leaves no margin, because there is no substrate holding a reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Modular_tray_and_pot_systems\"><\/span>4. Modular tray and pot systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plastic modules holding substrate, fixed to a structure. They are simple to install and to replace piece by piece, which makes them convenient on small areas. The downside: the grid of modules often stays visible through the planting, substrate volume per plant is limited, and outdoors the exposed plastic ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Free-standing_systems_no_building_work\"><\/span>5. Free-standing systems, no building work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the wall cannot or should not be touched \u2014 leased premises, listed buildings, temporary fit-outs \u2014 there are systems that are not anchored at all: double-sided planted screens with an integrated tank and closed-circuit irrigation, or framed panels that work as a living canvas. All they need is good light and a power socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the category of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/fytoscreen\/\">Fytoscreen\u00ae<\/a>, free-standing screens planted on both faces, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/slimgreenwall\/\">Slimgreenwall\u00ae<\/a>, built into a fibreglass frame. Both run on Fytotextile\u00ae technology and need no building work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Artificial_walls_and_preserved_moss\"><\/span>6. Artificial walls and preserved moss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worth naming, because they hold a large share of the market, and worth being plain about: they are not living walls, they are decorative cladding. No irrigation, no horticultural maintenance \u2014 and none of the effects that technically justify a green facade: evapotranspiration, thermal regulation, particulate capture, biodiversity. A valid answer when the brief is a green finish with no services; the wrong answer when the project is after environmental performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_five_criteria_that_decide_it\"><\/span>The five criteria that decide it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> indoors or outdoors, and the orientation. It governs the plant palette before anything else, and indoors it forces the question of supplementary lighting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Load on the structure:<\/strong> always with the system water-saturated. In refurbishment this is usually the criterion that rules options out before anything else starts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Available services:<\/strong> whether water, drainage and power reach the wall. This is what separates an anchored system from a free-standing one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintenance access:<\/strong> a facade reachable only by cherry picker costs money for its entire service life. That is settled at design stage, not afterwards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service life and total cost:<\/strong> not the installed price, but installation plus water, replanting and maintenance across the years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For how the chosen system is resolved on the drawing, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/green-wall-revit-dwg-dxf\/\">green wall construction detail<\/a>; for the cost side, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/how-to-budget-for-a-living-wall-in-your-project\/\">how to budget for a living wall<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indoors_and_outdoors_call_for_different_systems\"><\/span>Indoors and outdoors call for different systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outdoors the building physics lead: wind on the sub-frame, frost resistance, penetrations through the waterproofing, and a palette that survives the actual orientation \u2014 see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/outdoor-living-walls\/\">outdoor living walls<\/a>. Indoors the problem is different: light is rarely sufficient, moisture control and drainage shape the choice, and maintenance access tends to be tighter \u2014 see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/indoor-living-walls\/\">indoor living walls<\/a>. A system that excels on a facade can be the wrong call in a lobby, and the reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_living_wall_systems_are_there\"><\/span>What types of living wall systems are there?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among living systems: climbers on a support structure, modular systems on a textile carrier, hydroponic systems without substrate, modular tray or pot systems, and free-standing systems needing no building work. Separately there are artificial cladding and preserved moss, which are not living plant systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_system_suits_a_facade_best\"><\/span>Which system suits a facade best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For full coverage and control of the planting design, modular systems on a textile carrier are the standard. Where budget governs and waiting years for coverage is acceptable, climbers on a support structure are a reasonable, minimal-load alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_living_wall_be_installed_without_building_work\"><\/span>Can a living wall be installed without building work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, with free-standing systems: planted screens or framed panels with closed-circuit irrigation. They need adequate light and a power socket, and they are the usual route in leased premises or buildings where intervention is restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_a_living_wall_last\"><\/span>How long does a living wall last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far more dependent on maintenance and access than on the system itself. A well-chosen system with controlled irrigation and a maintenance plan that is actually followed gets renewed in parts and has no expiry date; one nobody can reach degrades quickly, whichever family it belongs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure which family fits your project? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/technical-consulting\/\">Our technical consulting team<\/a> assesses the substrate wall, the available services and the expected maintenance, and proposes the system that follows from it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terapiaurbana.com\/en\/contact\/\">Tell us about your project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a living wall system is a structural and maintenance decision, not an aesthetic one.
