Innovative Design Offers Efficient Alternative to Pre-Grown Panel Walls
Delray Beach, FL. – (February 21, 2019) – GSky Plant Systems, Inc., a global industry leader in the design and production of interior and exterior green walls, introduces the Versa Wall® XT system, an exterior living wall alternative to pre-grown panels. Unlike the pre-planted panels most exterior green walls on the market rely on, each Versa Wall® XT features one-gallon potted plants in lightweight trays, so full-grown plants can be swapped in quickly and cleanly. This system can be a seasonal alternative in colder climates where plants can be removed for the winter or replaced entirely in the spring. The system is easy to install, including around architectural features like doors and windows.
Built on the same proprietary design as the successful indoor Versa Wall®, the Versa Wall® XT features a unique modular design for quick and easy installation and simplified maintenance – and does not require wait time for growth like pre-grown walls do.
With the Versa Wall® XT, it is easy to change out individual plants, or exchange a whole wall of plants when seasons change. The Versa Wall® XT is a versatile and long-lasting green solution for shopping malls, corporate and academic campuses, hotels, airports, and more.
Featuring patented vertical irrigation technology, the Versa Wall® XT system cuts water waste, prevents oversaturation, and boosts cost efficiency by automatically running a timed gravity-based irrigation cycle two to three times per week, while other walls on the market may run several cycles each day. Completely customizable with plants local to the installation site, the Versa Wall® XT enlivens façades, cleans the air, shapes the acoustic environment, and combats the dangerous heat island effect in cities.
