Artificial Green Wall Panels

Panels in this range are 1m x 1m, so each one covers a square metre and the count is simply height multiplied by width in metres. A 4 metre fence covered to 2 metres takes eight panels. Rolls are the exception, since they are supplied by length at 3m x 1m rather than as square modules.

No, the two words describe the same 1m x 1m module and are used interchangeably. Tile is the more useful description because it explains how the product behaves: the edges are made to interlock with the module beside them, so the foliage carries across the seam and a run of twelve reads as a single wall rather than twelve squares.

Yes. A fake hedge wall on render or masonry needs a nylon plug behind the screw rather than a screw driven straight into the surface, and a washer under the head so the mesh is not pulled through. Where the wall cannot be penetrated at all, the panels mount to a batten frame that stands proud of the face by a few millimetres, which also lets air move behind the sheet.

Boxwood, buxus and mixed boxwood panels all produce the small dense leaf of a clipped box hedge. The mixed boxwood face carries two green tones rather than one, which stops the repeat pattern reading across a long run. A fake box hedge in panel form holds its exact shape permanently, which is the part a living box hedge needs quarterly clipping to achieve.

Panels are rigid and sit flat, giving the crisp square edge and dense face a boundary or feature wall wants. Artificial ivy rolls are flexible 3m x 1m sheets that follow a curve, wrap a column or move with a gate, and cover three square metres per roll. Many projects use panels at eye level and rolls for the long, plain or curved sections.

UV-certified panels carry UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf material itself rather than applied to the surface, so there is no coating that can weather off. A 5-year UV warranty is provided on all certified outdoor panels. Panels without an explicit UV rating are intended for interior use and will not hold colour in direct sun.

Yes. The mesh backing cuts with secateurs and the foliage is then folded back over the exposed edge so nothing shows. Cut from the reverse face so the leaf pattern is not disturbed, and hold on to the offcuts, because narrow strips are usually what is needed to finish the row above a window head or below a sill.

Yes. Several of the botanical vertical garden panels are produced from recycled material and sit at the upper end of the range at $199.95 per 1m x 1m panel. Panels of any type that come out at the end of their life are accepted back through the Designer Plants artificial greenery recycling programme.
