Green facades
Green facades, also known as living facades, are an architectural element that connects plants and buildings. This technique is used to enliven urban environments, improve air quality, insulate buildings, and make facades more aesthetically pleasing. If you want a green facade, we can help you with a solution.
Green facades have many advantages
Cooling buildings - plants on the façade absorb solar energy and evaporate water, lowering the temperature of the building and reducing the amount of air conditioning needed.
Improving air quality - plants naturally filter the air and absorb pollutants and toxins for better air quality in cities.
Insulation - Green facades provide additional insulation, which can reduce a building's energy consumption and create a more comfortable indoor environment.
Aesthetic appearance - green facades add natural elements to the urban environment and improve the aesthetics of buildings.
Improving the environment for flora and fauna - green facades provide a natural habitat for plants and animals.

We use Semper Green's time-tested outdoor wall system, which has been applied in many locations across Europe and the rest of the world.
The irrigation system provides a beautiful green facade all year round
We will recommend you a selection of plants suitable for the climatic conditions in the Czech Republic, according to the relevant criteria and the specifics of your building. Furthermore, according to your preferences regarding design and biodiversity.
A fully automatic irrigation system ensures that the plants receive both the correct amount of water and nutrients with respect to the seasons and weather conditions. Thanks to humidity and temperature sensors, the system also irrigates in winter if the temperature rises above zero.
90% green outdoor plant wall from day 1
Unlike other systems, our façade is up to 90% covered with mature plants immediately after installation. This is possible because of the pre-growing of the plants in the greenhouses and their subsequent acclimatization for outdoor use.
Plants need more than just water
Once the outdoor wall is installed, we set up a regular professional care system that is essential for a beautiful appearance. Our professional gardeners will look after your wall and provide all plant servicing including fertilizing, pruning, and replenishing if necessary.
Green facades absorb CO2 and purify the air
With one of our outdoor walls, you will contribute to purifying the air and improving the environment. Plants absorb 2.3 kg/m² of CO2 and produce 1.7 kg/m² of oxygen per year. In addition, the wall provides a cooling effect of approximately 2 °C and sound insulation of approximately 6 dB. When the wall is completely assembled, you will receive a certificate in which these figures are calculated specifically for your particular project.
Wall with fire classification
Green facades are certified for fire safety according to the European fire classification standard (EN 13501-1). Flexipanel has a classification of B-s2-d0 and is therefore suitable for projects in schools, hospitals, shopping centres, restaurants and offices, including escape routes. We can also offer Flexipanel Type A2 with the highest classification of A2-s2-d0, which is suitable for use in high-rise buildings or other projects with very stringent fire safety requirements.

We guarantee the quality of all our products, including green facades. We provide a 10-year warranty on Flexipanels, the building blocks of our exterior walls. The aluminium frame is guaranteed for 5 years. The fully automatic irrigation system comes with a 2 year warranty.
