BGreen-it Vertical - New generation of living green facades

BGreen-it Vertical is a new and unique facade system that connects architecture and nature.

The system is fully integrable in the building and can replace the traditional climate screen in a solution that combines expert knowledge on plant growth, building materials and design, into one product that is going to lead the way for construction in the future.

Vertical - Concept

BGreen-it Vertical consists of a precast element made from a specially designed growth media, in which the plants can grow. On top of that is mounted a front material of choice, supporting the desired design.

The growth element’s composition of natural materials absorbs the water and secures the correct hydraulics to assure that moisture is distributed evenly throughout the wall section. The individual growth elements are designed to fit together like a puzzle, thus creating one continuous space for the plant roots to spread and obtain water and nutrition. The properties of the natural materials for plant growth and the constructional properties of the precast growth element, creates the optimal baseline for a beautiful and living facade.

The facade system integrates elegantly into new structures, where it replaces the need for a classic climate screen. The system thereby helps to reduce the buildings carbon emissions. The system can also successfully be added onto an existing building frame.

Bgreen-it Vertical is a flexible system for the modern urban landscape with its mix of old and new architecture.
