Living walls, also known as green walls, have emerged as a powerful tool to enhance office spaces, providing a perfect blend of nature and innovation. Our team of experts are here to help you evaluate the feasibility and potential of incorporating a living wall in your workspace.
Enhancing your work environment with a living wall is an easy and hassle-free process, especially with Natura as your partner. However, it's essential to take a few key factors into consideration to ensure seamless integration.
Assess the available space in your business and consider if it can accommodate a living wall without hindering the functionality of the area. A well-planned evaluation will help ensure that the living wall enhances the space without causing any disruptions.
Ensure that the structure of your building or wall can support the weight of the living wall system. Our experienced team can conduct structural assessments and provide guidance on the installation process, ensuring the safety and longevity of the living wall. In cases where the structural integrity is inadequate, we also offer living wall divider options as an alternative solution.
Evaluate the amount of sunlight the potential area receives. Adequate sunlight is essential for the healthy growth of plants in the living wall. Observe the area throughout the day to understand the patterns of sunlight and shade it experiences. Different plant species have varying sunlight requirements, so knowing the sunlight availability will help you select the most suitable plants for the living wall.
Proper watering and drainage are crucial for a successful living wall. Consider our automated irrigation systems to maintain healthy plants and prevent water-related issues. We will regularly monitor and make adjustments if necessary to ensure the longevity and vitality of the living wall.
Once your living wall is installed, ongoing maintenance and care are essential to ensure its longevity and beauty. We offer comprehensive maintenance services, including fertilizing and free plant replacements when necessary, allowing you to focus on your business while ensuring your living wall remains in excellent condition.
Clearly define the objectives you want to achieve through the living wall, such as improving aesthetics, promoting a sustainable image, or enhancing the working environment for employees.
Once the objectives are clear, it’s important to engage with our sales representatives who can provide expert guidance and detailed pricing information. Balancing your business goals with a well-structured budget will ensure a successful living wall project that works with your overall business strategy.
