Extends facade lifespan

A living wall shields your facade from the sun, rain, wind, and temperature changes, extending its lifespan.

The ‘Weide Park Shopping Center’ in Kranenburg, Germany, near the Dutch border, has been expanded with a new building. This building is equipped with solar panels, a heat recovery system, and heat pumps. A sustainable addition is the green facade that provides shoppers with a pleasant environment for their shopping. By installing at least 20,000 plants on the facade, combined with wooden facade panels, this shopping center has a sustainable appearance.

More green = more revenue

Research* has shown that greenery in and near stores can increase sales by 12 percent. Green has a calming effect on people, resulting in longer stays and different shopping behavior. In addition, green shopping areas are more often seen as better, safer, and cleaner.

More greenery can lower street temperatures significantly during hot periods, improving comfort while shopping. Plants also act as natural air purifiers. They absorb CO2 and convert it back into oxygen. Improved air quality both indoors and outdoors creates a more pleasant shopping environment. Noise dampening is another benefit of a plant wall. It absorbs ambient noise from cars and other street

Living plants adorn the wall

In spring, the plants will bloom beautifully and contribute to biodiversity. The vegetation provides birds with space to build their nests and bees find their nectar here. Thus, this living facade makes the built environment much more connected to nature. There are also aesthetic benefits: the selection of hardy plants ensures that the SemperGreenwall remains green all year round.
