  • Indoor plants improve air quality by removing toxins such as Formaldehyde and Carbon Monoxide, to name a few.
  • Living walls can help protect building by reducing the effect of fluctuating temperatures. Fluctuating temperatures cause expansion and contraction in buildings. Covering exterior surfaces with living walls helps keep the temperatures more consistent.
  • Indoor and outdoor living walls can help save money on energy costs. Plants cool the air that surrounds it by using transpiration. The temperature can be decreased by 3-5˚F. Living walls can also help insulate a building!
  • Last but certainly not least, plants are good for your health! Most gardeners know that working outside and being surrounded by plants can boost your mood and be somewhat therapeutic. Studies have shown that living walls decrease stress levels and increase productivity.
