Green Walls & Vertical Gardens

Artificial green wall panels are interlocking foliage tiles that clip together to cover a wall in dense, low-maintenance greenery. They mount to almost any flat surface, trim to fit around sockets and corners, and are used for feature walls in restaurants, retail fit-outs, offices, event backdrops and residential courtyards where a living wall would need irrigation and a maintenance contract.

Our position on fire documentation. Eververda publishes a fire figure only where documentation exists for that specific piece, and describes nothing as "fire rated". On a commercial quote we establish the occupancy, the adopted code edition and what your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) will accept as documentation, in writing, before the order. Where no documented route exists for a piece, we say so and set out the alternatives. We do not claim a certificate for any product.

How do you install artificial green wall panels?

Panels join edge to edge and fix back to a substrate, so most of the work is in the surface behind them rather than the greenery itself. On a solid wall, batten out a light timber or plywood backing, fix the panels to that, and you get both a flat plane and an air gap. Straight onto fencing, panels can be attached to the rails with cable ties or with screws and washers. Cut panels to size at the edges and rotate them as you go: laying every tile the same way up produces a visible grid, and staggering the orientation is what makes a wall read as planting rather than tiling. Finish the perimeter with a batten or trim so no cut edge stays visible.

Do artificial green walls work outdoors?

Outdoors is one of the main uses, on two conditions: that the panels are specified for exterior placement, and that the wall behind them can get wet and then dry out again. Foliage in full sun fades over time on any product, so darker, mixed-tone panels hold their appearance better than bright uniform greens. Leave an air gap behind the panels rather than sealing them flat against rendered masonry, and check that water can drain away at the bottom of the run. Check each listing for the placement that panel lists. See UV Resistant and Outdoor Safe.

How to choose the right size

Work in area, not in panel count. Measure the height and width of the wall, multiply for square metres or square feet, divide by the coverage figure on the product listing, then add roughly ten to fifteen percent for cutting waste and edge trims. Order the whole run at once so the foliage batch matches, because greens vary slightly between production runs and a wall finished months later can show the join. To soften a hard rectangle, break the base line with planting. Browse Grasses, Ferns and Shrubs and Commercial Artificial Plants.

Frequently asked questions

Do green wall panels for a restaurant, retail or office feature wall need fire documentation?

It depends on the occupancy, the code edition your jurisdiction has adopted and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), who decides what is acceptable. In the United States, the International Fire Code accepts either NFPA 701 (Test Method 1 or 2) or NFPA 289 (20 kW ignition source, 100 kW maximum heat release rate) for artificial vegetation, at Section 807.4.1 from the 2018 edition onward and Section 806.2 in the 2015 edition, which some jurisdictions still run. In Ontario, Article 2.3.2.1 of the Ontario Fire Code requires decorative materials to meet CAN/ULC-S109 in listed locations, a lobby or exit among them, but it does not name artificial vegetation, so confirm with your fire prevention officer. Outside Ontario, confirm the code in force with your AHJ. We publish a fire figure only where documentation exists for that specific piece, and we do not claim a certificate for any product. See fire documentation for commercial artificial greenery.

How do you clean dust off a mounted green wall panel?

A vertical wall of dense foliage collects less dust than a horizontal surface, since there is nothing for it to settle flat on, but it still needs occasional attention. A leaf blower on a low setting or compressed air worked from top to bottom clears most build-up without touching individual leaves. For an outdoor wall, a garden hose on a gentle setting rinses it clean. Avoid pressure washers, which can dislodge foliage from the backing mesh.

How long do artificial green wall panels typically last before they need replacing?

Indoors, out of direct sun, panels generally hold their colour and shape for years with only occasional cleaning, since there is no UV exposure or weather to degrade them. Outdoors, lifespan is set mainly by sun exposure: a wall in full, unshaded sun will show fading and stiffening sooner than one in a shaded or north-facing position. Choosing a panel listed for outdoor use, rather than an indoor-grade one, is the single biggest factor in how long an exterior wall stays looking fresh.

How does a faux green wall compare with a living green wall or moss wall?

A living green wall needs an irrigation system, a lighting plan if it is not near a window, and an ongoing maintenance contract to replace plants that fail, which is a running cost most projects underestimate. A moss wall looks striking but is a static, preserved product that cannot be trimmed or reshaped once installed. A faux panel wall needs no irrigation, lighting plan or plant replacement, only occasional dusting, and can be cut and reconfigured on site.

Do the panels come with mounting hardware, or do I need to buy that separately?

This varies by product, so check the individual listing details before ordering. Some panel sets include clips or ties for joining panels edge to edge; the backing, battens, screws or cable ties needed to fix panels to your specific wall or fence are typically sourced separately, since that depends on what surface you are mounting to. Plan the backing and fixings as part of the project budget rather than assuming everything needed arrives in the box.
