A green façade is a wall completely or partially covered with greenery. A greenfaçade with climbing plants uses a trellis system to hold the vines of plants thatare rooted in the ground or containers. Green façades offer economic,environmental, aesthetic and physiological benefits to the urban environment.

Unlike green panels that can be integrated into the building only if engineered tohold the weight (80-100 kg/m3), this type of green façades can be planted in theground/container and using a trellis system they can be attached to any buildingor structure.

This green façade is built with:

• A soil container.
• Soil mixture of 30% sand, 30% compost and 40% topsoil.
• A trellis system.
• Climbing plants (for example Hedera helix, Parthenocissus tricuspidata,Wisteria sp. and Vitis sp.) 
• Air gap between the building and the trellis system (optional).
