Artificial Green Wall Cost: What Drives the Price
Коротка відповідь: an artificial green wall is priced per square metre of covered wall, and four variables move that number: total area, foliage density, fire rating and access. We do not publish a list price because a single figure would be wrong for most projects — but the drivers below are the same ones we use when we quote.
The Four Variables That Set the Price
| Variable | What changes | Effect on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | 10 m² reception wall vs 200 m² facade | Price per m² falls as area rises — cutting waste, packing and freight are spread over more panels |
| Foliage density | Uniform panel vs layered 3D mix | Denser and multi-layer panels need more foliage per square metre, so the material share rises |
| Fire rating | Standard UV panel vs flame-retardant (EN 13501-1 B-s2,d0) | FR compounds and testing cost more; only specify FR where the project requires it |
| Access and fixing | Ground-floor wall vs atrium, stair or high facade | Access equipment and fixing method usually drive installation cost more than the panels do |
What Sits Inside the Price
- Panels — the largest single share, because foliage, backing and UV-stabilised polymer are the product itself.
- Fixings and framing — battens, clips and concealed frame; small in value, but they decide whether the wall survives wind.
- Freight — panels are bulky rather than heavy, so shipping is charged on volume, not weight. Consolidating a full container lowers the per-m² share.
- Встановлення — labour and access, normally by your contractor; quoted separately from the material.
Why We Do Not Publish a Price per Square Metre
A published number would have to assume one panel type, one fire rating and one destination. In practice a 12 m² office feature wall and a 180 m² hotel facade are not the same product, and quoting them at one rate misleads both buyers. We quote against a drawing or a photo with dimensions instead, and the quote breaks the cost into panels, fixings and freight so you can compare line by line.
Artificial vs Living Wall: The Cost That Keeps Running
| Artificial green wall | Living wall | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront | Panels, кріплення, installation | Structure, growing medium, irrigation, дренажу, plants |
| Ongoing | Occasional dusting; replace individual panels if damaged | Water, nutrients, обрізка, plant replacement, irrigation servicing |
| Light | None | Grow lighting in most interiors |
| Risk | Consistent appearance year-round | Seasonal die-back and plant loss |
The honest comparison is not “cheaper to buy” — it is total cost over the life of the fit-out. A living wall can be specified for the same budget as a high-spec artificial wall; the difference appears in year two, when the maintenance and replacement bill arrives.
Five Things to Check in Any Quote
- Is the price per m² based on covered wall area or on panels supplied? Offcuts and waste should be stated.
- Does it include fixings and framing, or only the foliage panels?
- Is фрахт quoted by volume, and is duty or DDP included?
- Is the клас вогнестійкості the one the project actually requires, with test documentation named?
- What is the minimum order and what happens to the price if the area shrinks after survey?
Часті запитання
How much does an artificial green wall cost per square metre?
It depends on area, щільність, fire rating and destination, so we quote per project rather than publish a rate. Send a wall photo with dimensions and we will return a line-item quote for panels, fixings and freight.
Is a flame-retardant wall much more expensive?
The FR range costs more than standard UV panels because of the compound and the testing behind EN 13501-1 B-s2,d0. Specify it where the building requires it — on escape routes, enclosed terraces and many commercial interiors — and use standard panels elsewhere.
Can I start with a small area to test?
Так. 50 × 50 cm panels are held in stock and can be ordered from a single piece, and we send up to three sample pieces before an order.
What is the minimum production order?
50 m² per design for production orders. Stock 50 × 50 cm panels have no minimum.
Does the quote include installation?
No — we supply panels, fixings and a fixing guide; installation is by your contractor. For repeat clients we can introduce installers we have worked with in the region.
