Green Facades are an emerging architectural

element, they provide an enormous amount of
benefits to a building through occupant amenity,
thermal control and improving air quality. Using
stainless steel cables, rods and mesh to train
climbing plants up a building facade provides an
alternative to the traditional planted green wall.
The system is lighter in weight, enables view and air
transfer to remain while being highly manipulable
in order to adapt to varying species, climate or
structural requirements. Even retrofitting a green
facade to existing structures is easily achieved.

The stainless steel trellising systems
and components provide essential
climbing structure for the plant life,
and to transform the hard heat
retaining surfaces into vibrant

Applications GreenWalls

VerticalLandscaping
With the population boom leaving less open space available for traditional garden
beds, stainless steel is helping to reintroduce Mother Nature to an increasingly
unnatural environment. Ecologically sustainable design (ESD) allows for natural light
and ventilation, reduced energy usage, water consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions. The need for this type of specification is so apparent that the Government
has established the Green Building Council of Australia (GBA) to advocate sustainable
property development.

Annual runoff rates from pure copper, zinc and chromium and nickel from
304 and 316 type stainless steel. The runoff rate data for copper and zinc
represent average values during fouryear exposures whereas the
chromium and nickel runoff data are based on a oneyear exposure.
Stainless steel metal release is 1000 times lower than Zinc and Copper

OperatheatreinVerona(Italy)
The great Roman monument, the symbol of Verona, dates back to the first half of the 1st
Century AD and has been known as the most important open air opera theatre.
Recent restoration work involved the construction of new covering for the central pit,
where the orchestra sits, the underground room and the underground sewage tunnels.
The new covering slab for the "large central pit" is supported in its structural function by a
system of roof struts and post tension tie rods which minimises strains and deformation
owing to the acting loads. The post tension system used, comprising stainless steel bars,
guarantees structural safety, quality and durability.
