At SRS we are advocates for business to consider installing a green wall or foliage system into their work place. Living walls are often not talked about in the way they should be. A lot of people get caught up in the aesthetic on a living wall rather than realizing the positive impact it is creating in its new environment.

Installation of a living wall into an environment – The plants and foliage used will start to filtrate the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, as well as collecting dust, improving the air quality. The higher rate of oxygen being produced into your work environment will not only benefit the health on your workers, but you will see a higher rate of productivity. Increased oxygen to the brain will help your staff to feel more alert and concentrated, which we all know we could use every now and then.
