What is the Process?
Scotscape offer a very well received CPD to architects and specifiers covering all elements of living wall design considerations, installation and ongoing maintenance. We offer two CPD’s one about the Scotscape living wall system (constructed from Fytotextile) which we use for a high aesthetic finish and also Flex MSE the biodiverse living wall product which enables a retaining wall of biodiverse plants to be installed in large civil engineering projects.
We meet our customer to discuss the proposed living wall, after which we develop a concept and planting design with alternatives for our clients to consider. The structural support framework is designed, if required, to suit your site along-with the type of irrigation required. Our planting design is entirely bespoke to each project, bringing the client’s living wall vision to life. We focus strongly on horticultural content which will not only look great but will deliver maximum air quality benefits to the location of the living wall. This is particularly relevant in commercial projects where the rigerous demands of planning legislation, BREEAM, CSR targets and staff and customer health and well-being demand functional planting which brings more than aesthetics to a project with genuine proven benefits.
Scotscape supply all the components required to fit the living wall system to any given location. The Scotscape Living Wall is planted on site for instant impact, providing an immediately green aesthetic. Our experienced construction team interfaces with architects and structural engineers to ensure that best practice is applied at each and every location, underpinned by sound technical information.
Our living wall system is fast and easy to install, fixed to a steel or timber sub frame, and hung. The system is planted in situ, minimising lead-times and allowing for instant vertical greening. Flexible enough to be used on columns and curved services for unique urban greening. Easy to access integrated irrigation systems also allow for a smooth installation and maintenance. The construction of Fytotextile means that correct aeration reaches the plant root systems enabling strong growth and development.
Living Walls require specialist maintenance to ensure that they look good all year round and provide maximum aesthetic and biodiverse benefits.
The award-winning Scotscape Living Wall Maintenance department is dedicated to the maintenance of living walls throughout the UK. Our team consists of experienced horticulturalists and irrigation operatives. It is crucial that green walls are correctly fed, monitored and maintained, so that all their benefits to the urban environment can be realised.
The Scotscape Living Wall system is rated with excellent Fire Retardancy credentials – winning the highest rating for safety with the Class 0 award.
