THE MINIGARDEN
®
COMBINES GREAT DESIGN SCOPE
WITH A NUMBER OF ECOLOGICAL AND PERFORMANCE BENEFITS:
IMPROVES AESTHETICS AND
QUALIFIES AREAS
A well designed and maintained vertical
garden can significantly enhance a
building’s appearance – whether it’s to
add a new aesthetic dimension, disguise
a car park, refresh a facade or add
colour and texture to a wall or section.
IMPROVE AIR QUALITY AND REDUCE
CARBON DIOXIDE
A vertical garden in an urban area
helps improve local air quality, both by
absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing
oxygen, and by trapping dust and
absorbing pollutants.
REDUCE NOISE AND EFFECTS OF ECHO
The Minigarden vertical garden system
works as an insulation layer (both thermal
and acoustic), offering an extraordinary
effect of sound absorption and
capture.
REGULATE TEMPERATURE
A vertical garden used on appropriate elevations
can reduce energy costs by both
providing an additional layer of insulation
in the winter (keeping heat in) and acting
as a screen to the sun in the summer
(keeping the building cool).
FOOD SAFETY
The Minigarden® Vertical material is
suitable for direct contact with food. It
is widely used in the food industry and it
complies with the European regulations
(EU Nº 10/2011) on plastic materials intended
to come into contact with food.
INCREASING BIODIVERSITY
With a strong base from the trellis and
appropriate planting, a vertical garden
can provide an ideal habitat for birds
and beneficial insects. In many cases, it
can also provide an alternative habitat
for any wildlife displaced during construction,
with the option of integrating
bird houses within the structure.
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT
Outdoor or indoor vertical gardens applications
give us a close contact with
plants, through visual contact or smell,
creating a very pleasant psychological
effect.
PROTECT BUILDING FACADES
The Minigarden system protects a
building’s facade from the elements,
acting as an effective shield to heavy
rain and hail and helping to protect
from the damaging effects of UV light.
URBAN FARMING
The Minigarden Vertical system is also
being used for growing food in urban
settings, creating sustainable and local
control of food sources.
