Fully comprehensive, irrigated living wall system made up of ‘backless’ modular panels, containing an inorganic growing medium surrounded by a self coloured aluminium shell. Panels are mounted to a waterproof backing board through a void former drainage layer and held in place by aluminium carrier rails.

Features and benefits:

Full coverage living green wall system
Made with non-combustible materials – non-combustible growing medium, aluminium shell and A rated backing board.
90% less plastic vs BioPanel.
Independently fire tested in operational conditions – likely reaction to fire B-s2,d0.
Assembled in the UK using UK and EU materials.
Integrated irrigation system with remote monitoring.
Low water usage of up to 2 L/m²/day.
Green wall consultancy, design and installation by Biotecture.
Maintenance packages available.

Modular panels:

The BioPanel living wall system consists of patented 'backless' modular panels which include a water retentive, non-combustible stone wool growing medium, held in place by a self-coloured aluminium shell.
The planted panels are fixed through a void former to a weatherproof backing board. The backing board is fixed to the secondary support structure.
Standard living wall panels are 600 x 450 mm. They can also be cut to suit. Biotecture will work with you on the green wall panel layout.

Growing medium:

The plants are grown in Grodan® a spun stone wool growing medium favoured by commercial growers because it creates a predictable environment for plant growth. It’s dimensionally stable, chemically inert, non-combustible and supremely water retentive making it suitable for living walls.

It is also made with 75% recycled content and is 100% recyclable through recognised schemes.

Irrigation:

The BioPanel green wall system includes an automatic remotely monitored irrigation system.
Irrigation pipelines run through the living wall and each 600 x 450 mm panel includes four irrigation drippers.
The BioPanel living wall system’s patented design allows careful control of the flow of water through the wall avoiding ‘pillowing’ in certain areas.
BioPanel requires a small plant room or weather-tight plant room cabinet at the height of the living wall or below.

Support structure:

The BioPanel living wall system requires a secondary support structure to provide 600 mm fixing centres for the backing board. Vertical cladding rails should have a 100 mm face. Biotecture recommend Omega Top Hat sections or the Hilti Helping Hand System.
