Guidance for specification option:

This refers to the core infrastructure of the living wall system. The aluminium subframe, living wall modules, and core irrigation components—including the irrigation tank, nutrient tank, Dosatron, main header pipe, and riser pipe—are all designed with an expected lifespan of approximately 30 years.

Certain elements of the system are expected to require replacement or renewal as part of ongoing maintenance.

These include:

  • Living plants – Over time, some plants will naturally perish and be replaced as part of standard upkeep.
  • Irrigation pump – May need replacement during the system’s lifespan.
  • Dripline sections – Some components may require renewal over time.

The oldest living wall currently maintained by our team is 15 years old, demonstrating the system’s long-term durability when properly maintained.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the continued health, performance, and visual quality of all living walls.
