Foliage Walls

Everything a specifier needs. No access code.

The panel specification, the standards we test to, and the documents that ship with every order. Writing a spec or a fire risk assessment should need nothing else.

The standards, in plain English.

Two things burn on a green wall: the foliage and the backing. We test both, assembled, because that is what is on your wall.

BS EN 13501-1

European reaction-to-fire class for anything fixed to a wall in a public building.

Target B-s2,d0 on the assembled panel

BS 5867-2

Flammability of decorative foliage and fabrics, the usual hospitality requirement.

Target Type B on all foliage and packs

NFPA 701

The flame test international hotel groups and cruise operators specify.

Target pass, Test Method 1

DIN 4102 B1

German building-material class, requested by European contractors.

Target B1 on foliage

BS EN ISO 4892-2

Xenon-arc UV weathering. Proves colour holds in sunlight.

3,000 hours; 5-year warranty

Wind load

Rooftops and facades see suction as well as pressure.

±2,400 Pa with 4 fixings; extra top-edge row above 10 m

Inherent, not sprayed.

Dipped or sprayed retardants wash off, leave a film and need reapplying. Ours is in the polymer.

  • No annual re-proofing

  • No sticky or oily residue

  • Same performance after hosing

  • Same rating on Character Packs

Technical questions

Is it fire rated for public spaces?

The backing grid is fire-retardant polymer and the foliage is inherently fire-retardant, not sprayed. Assembled panels are tested to BS EN 13501-1, foliage to BS 5867 and NFPA 701, and the certificates ship with every order for your fire risk assessment.

Will it fade in a sunny atrium or on a rooftop?

The foliage is UV-stabilised at manufacture and tested to BS EN ISO 4892-2, backed by a 5-year warranty against fading and brittleness. Meadow and Boxwood are our recommended exterior styles.

What is the lead time?

Stock foliages ship in 5 to 10 working days. Bespoke mixes and large projects are 4 to 6 weeks. Overnight and weekend installation slots are booked at quote stage.

Do you supply drawings and specifications?

Yes. Datasheets, certificates, fixing schedules and CAD details download without registration, and we will attend site for complex installs.
