At Greenbuild next week McCaren Designs will be introducing their new Greenwalls Modular Planting Systems, a sustainable building solution designed and engineered for maximum biofilteration of indoor air, thermal regulation and striking aesthetics. As this is the first commercially available greenwalls system created by a renowned designer of living architecture, the installation and maintenance of the system is uncommonly efficient and intuitive.
This product launch opens up direct availability to award winning greenwall design structure to facility and building managers and owners as well as the architect/design communities and professional interior landscapers.
