Artificial green walls look absolutely stunning 24/7 in any environment, perfect for both the short and the long term, indoors or out and with a vibrancy of foliage which reliably captures the colours, textures and movement of real plants. They instantly transform, whether in a commercial, retail, office, or indeed any other space, with no need to wait for plants to grow or ever be maintained. But their benefits extend far beyond this obvious naturalistic aesthetic appeal.
Workplace wellbeing
2020 has been a year of global change in the workplace with staff wellbeing a top priority as many businesses reimagine their office spaces in light of staff returning to the workplace from furlough or long periods of remote working. Green environments are known to boost productivity, increase employee engagement and provide the “biophilic” affiliation with nature that humans crave.
Office screening
Office screening has always been a positive solution to many workplace issues, such as privacy and noise. It’s now become even more essential to keep employees distanced to ensure a safe return to work, as well as minimise the many distractions in an open office for improved staff productivity. Green walls offer a more flexible and creative office screen choice, and your workspace will instantly feel more interesting and unique.
Welcoming reception
Green walls are no longer a privilege enjoyed only by premium brands or luxurious locations. Their affordability and ease of installation mean they can add a sprinkle of magic to any environment and reap exactly the same rewards.
A splash of green in reception areas that lack imagination instantly brings a blank wall to life with a welcoming backdrop of beautiful foliage. Further incorporating logos with stylish cut out brushed steel lettering signage into the green wall, creates an ideal branding opportunity that really adds that wow factor.
Studio One specified and installed a stunning artificial green wall in the reception area at iForce and The Logistics People’s National Fulfilment Centre in Corby. With the simple addition of green wall panels measuring 3700 x 2600 mm, the stark industrial reception space suddenly became a warm and welcoming area to be enjoyed by visitors and staff alike.
A healthy space with no bugs
With artificial plants you are still able to enjoy the wellbeing advantages of having more greenery around. This can include a wide range of positives, from introducing more of a sense of calm to helping to improve productivity. An additional benefit is that artificial green walls are completely pest-free – especially useful if you’re planning to have the green wall indoors.
Safety first
Fire safety is always a priority when you’re considering design, both for exteriors and interiors. However, this doesn’t have to come at the expense of aesthetics. Fire-rated artificial green walls are made using fire retardant artificial plants that look incredibly realistic and bring a swathe of nature into any space while also being fully compliant with ISO9001 quality control standards.
Cost-effective and fuss free
Artificial green walls are simple to install and, once in place, there is very little left to do to enjoy them all year round. You don’t need to consider any ongoing maintenance costs, replacing plants that don’t grow, or worrying about tending to the foliage properly. You don’t even have to water these plants!
Immersive retail spaces
By adding an artificial green wall into retail spaces, it amplifies the brand engagement and can create a fun zone for tourists and visitors to chill out and upload the perfect selfie to Instagram. Plain shop walls are instantly revamped and suddenly become a high impact, stylish focal point of a store or brand space.
Commercial refurbishments
Green walls can beautify a section of bland walling that’s ugly on the eye, as well as creating a practical solution, such as privacy, protection or perimeter barrier to deter any would-be trespassers. Bespoke customisation of large walls can include additional LED lighting, brand messages, logos or further adorning the greenery with exciting bursts of colour such as lavender. In no time at all, it’s possible to transform an area of unsightly brickwork, to a maintenance-free, lush green swathe of planting befitting of any environment.
