Façade greening with innovative systems from Vertiko

We create oases –
for people and property value.

People living in cities long for freedom and a connection with nature. It is time for urban spaces to once again invite people to breathe freely and offer a liveable, healthy city climate.

Imagine the city becoming an oasis for people and a place for resilient properties with a green future — not only at prestigious addresses, but also at data centres or logistics facilities, where large building facades today often appear purely functional.

As a systems manufacturer, we develop innovative façade greening products for private and public clients, architects, planners, general contractors, and installers. Our green facades can be planned with confidence, implemented efficiently, and operated sustainably over the long term.

Our façade greening solutions bring nature back to people. And cities back to nature.

THE BENEFITS OF
FAÇADE GREENING.

Our façade greening products enhance building performance in multiple ways: they regulate temperature and humidity, protect the building envelope, and noticeably improve the microclimate. This has a positive impact on energy consumption, the environmental footprint, and the lifespan of your property.

The essentials at a glance: what is façade greening, why does it make sense, which facades can be greened, and how does the LivingWALL PLUS differ from conventional façade greening? Find answers to these and further questions in our guide Façade Greening Fundamentals.

Reduced energy consumption

Protection of the building envelope

1 litre of evaporated water produces an average of 4 litres of regional rainfall

Thermal insulation through greening

Increased property value

Façade greenery produces oxygen and captures fine dust and CO₂

Cooling effect during hot weather

Reduced sound reflection

Enhanced biodiversity

Green façades offer aesthetic appeal

Improved quality of life for residents

TEMPERATURE REGULATION

Adiabatic cooling– Our plant systems cool through shading and evaporation, reducing air conditioning costs and preventing buildings from overheating

Heat retention – Greening minimizes heat loss, protects against wind and moisture, and increases energy efficiency.

LIGHT MANAGEMENT

Our plants provide natural glare protection and serve as an alternative to technical sun protection systems. Depending on the type of greening, light transmission is maintained, saving primary energy and reducing maintenance costs.

OPTIMISED VENTILATION

Greenery purifies and humidifies the air, cools incoming air in summer, and buffers it in winter. This relieves or even replaces air conditioning systems while improving indoor air quality.

EFFICIENT ENERGY USE

Façade greening with Vertiko enhances the efficiency of technical systems and supports both active and passive energy generation. It boosts the performance of photovoltaic systems, reduces cooling energy demand, and even enables biomass production.

RESOURCE-EFFICIENT WATER USE

Our systems enable the sustainable use of rainwater collected from cisterns, reducing potable water consumption while improving the building’s climate through evaporative cooling – saving water and providing additional cooling benefits.

SUSTAINABLE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

Vertiko systems contribute to CO₂ storage and oxygen production, reduce energy demand, and extend the lifespan of façades. This not only improves the environmental footprint but also provides long-term protection against external influences.

SPREADING OR CLIMBING:
OUR SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR GREEN FAÇADES.

ClimbingBASE
load-bearing, versatile, flexible

The climbing structure enables load transfer directly into the ground via point foundations or wall-mounted via brackets. This allows the aesthetically refined climbing grids to be flexibly adapted to a variety of wall constructions, providing climbing plants with optimal space to thrive. A structural system calculation is available.

ClimbingMOUNT
wall-mounted, lightweight, robust

The wall-mounted GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic) transfers loads directly into the supporting wall. With its extremely low weight and high durability, GFRP offers numerous advantages and maximum flexibility for greening buildings with climbing plants.

LivingPANELS
pre-mounted, modular,
ready-greened

LivingPANELS combine the advantages of a full-surface, pre-mounted, and rear-ventilated façade greening system with the planning reliability of a modular system. Delivered already fully greened, the modules are installed using a plug-and-play method and take immediate effect.

LivingWALL PLUS
pre-mounted, innovative, versatile

As a pre-mounted, rear-ventilated façade greening system, LivingWALL PLUS allows plants to grow within a fleece layer without making contact with the building structure. Pre-assembled and stitched fleece modules simplify installation and accelerate the construction process. The product can be flexibly adapted, offers a wide range of design options, and improves the microclimate. It meets fire protection class A2.

WHO CAN BREATHE EASY
WITH VERTIKO FAÇADE GREENING.

Ready to start planning? Which information we require for planning, which service phases we cover, and how the façade is protected — find answers to these and more in our guide “Planning & Interfaces”.

Planners & Architects — we accompany you from vision to built reality.

Vertiko provides reliable planning foundations for façade greening and supports you in finding the right product for your project — precisely tailored to the architecture, geometry, substrate, and objectives. The result: bespoke vertical greening solutions that can be clearly specified and seamlessly integrated into the building envelope.

Clients & Main Contractors benefit from increased property value and cost savings.

Greened façades enhance the value of your property — both aesthetically and functionally. At the same time, they improve the microclimate, protect the building envelope from weathering, and thereby reduce maintenance requirements. Clear interfaces and system-based solutions ensure a predictable construction process.

Installers find solutions at Vertiko that can be implemented cleanly and efficiently.

Contractors interested in unique and high-quality greening solutions are welcome at Vertiko. As part of our network, partners benefit from clear project planning, easy-to-install systems, and a carefully selected plant range. We provide both technical and personal support, along with optional training for quality assurance.
