Facades of commercial buildings - modern aesthetics and ecology with Green Facades

The facades of commercial buildings play a key role in the perception of the space by customers, influence the brand image and are exposed to a range of weathering factors that can weaken their structure over time. This is why more and more builders are turning to modern solutions that combine functionality, aesthetics and an ecological approach - including the plant-based façade systems offered by the Green Façades.

Green façades, also known as living walls or vertical gardens, not only enhance the appearance of commercial buildings, but serve a number of practical functions. Vegetation forms a natural protective barrier between the façade and its surroundings, reducing the harmful effects of UV radiation, rainfall, wind, dust and temperature extremes. As a result, the façade maintains its aesthetic appearance for a longer period of time and maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

UV radiation is one of the greatest threats to façades. Without protection, paint can fade and façade materials can degrade. Green walls absorb and scatter the sun's rays, effectively protecting the building surface.

Rain and moisture are also a major challenge - green façades retain much of the rainfall, which runs down the leaves instead of directly on the wall. This reduces the risk of damp, mould or efflorescence on the façade.

Wind, dust and particles are effectively attenuated by the vegetation, which acts as a natural air filter. As a result, the façade remains cleaner and the force of the wind hitting the wall is significantly weakened.

Extreme temperatures in summer and winter have a negative impact on building materials. Green facades act as natural insulation, reducing temperature differences and increasing the energy efficiency of the entire commercial building.

Natural substrate and plant selection - the key to sustainability

At Green Facades, we base each project on a natural substrate that provides plants with stable growth and resistance to changing weather conditions. We do not use prefabricated mats - our system allows for deep rooting, longer life and better adaptation of the plants to the façade of the commercial building.

We tailor the choice of plant species to the location, the orientation of the façade and the needs of the client. We can realise projects focused on maximum wall protection, aesthetics, air purification or noise reduction. By working with landscape architects, each façade becomes a unique element of the commercial space.

For the facades of commercial buildings, green screens, i.e. ready-made, fully greened ivy hedges, are an ideal solution. These systems are not only decorative, but also an effective acoustic barrier and air filter. They are ideal for shopping centre entrances, car parks, warehouses, restaurants or service facilities.

Our green screens are easy to install, ready to use and come with a 10-year guarantee. Plants such as Hedera helix Woerner, are resistant to harsh urban conditions and require minimal maintenance, providing year-round aesthetics.

Systems such as MobiRoof ECO allow green roofs to be created on commercial buildings, improving thermal insulation, storing rainwater and reducing the urban heat island effect. Green roofs also provide a bird's-eye view of a company's green image and can be an important element of a CSR strategy.

In addition, our projects can incorporate nesting boxes and bee hotels, supporting biodiversity in the urban space and making the space around the site more environmentally friendly.

Benefits for investors and users

Green facades on commercial buildings offer a number of tangible benefits:

  • Improving aesthetics - The green façade attracts customers and emphasises the modern character of the building.
  • Reduction in operating costs - Thermal insulation and weather protection reduce energy and material consumption.
  • Increase in property value - buildings with a green façade are seen as prestigious and attractive to tenants.
  • Improving air quality and microclimate - Vegetation filters dust and CO₂, lowers the temperature and noise levels in the surrounding area.
  • Positive effects on well-being - Contact with greenery reduces stress and increases comfort for users and customers, which is particularly important in commercial spaces.
