Our Vertiflore system, with CSTB technical approval
TRACER has developed Vertiflore, a patented green wall system with technical approval (CSTB n°2/15-1693-V1). Our process is based on galvanized steel baskets, wrapped in a rot-proof M1 mat and filled with a specific substrate. This substrate, similar to topsoil and with no need for additional nutrients, ensures plant durability by promoting optimal root development while requiring little water. To guarantee uniform irrigation over the entire wall surface, we integrate an automatic watering system with remote control, equipped with a line of drippers.
Vertiflore can be adapted to all facades, whatever the characteristics of the project, thanks to our three fastening system options.
Fixing to load-bearing wall
The rails are fixed to the wall using anchor bolts, and are suspended from the load-bearing wall at two fixing points. Their main function is to support the bins. This rail creates an air space of 6 cm between the load-bearing wall and the plant wall.
Wall mounting with external insulation
When insulating from the outside, we install galvanized steel brackets. These brackets support the omegas, which are arranged vertically. They are fastened using a system of bolts and nuts. The omegas are mechanically fastened to the rails with self-drilling screws.
Self-supporting wall mounting
When the wall cannot support the plant wall, we install floor-mounted IPNs (with the option of adding anti-tilt points to reduce the size of the IPNs). These IPNs are machined before galvanizing to support the Vertiflore system's rails, and are assembled using bolts and nuts.
Plant palette for green wall
The plant palette is the heart of every green wall. At TRACER, we work closely with our customers to select the plants that best meet their specific needs. We carefully select species that thrive in vertical environments, while contributing to the beauty and sustainability of your spaces.
Climate adaptability: We select plants adapted to local climatic conditions, including temperature variations, light levels and humidity. This ensures greater longevity and reduced maintenance requirements.
Aesthetics and diversity: Our plant palettes are varied in terms of texture, color and form. This visual diversity creates attractive, dynamic plant walls capable of evolving and surprising throughout the year.
Maintenance and resistance: We select species that are resistant to disease and pests, and require only moderate maintenance. We favor plants with low water consumption, thus contributing to environmental sustainability.
Exposure criteria: Plant selection takes into account the orientation of the wall (north, south, east or west). We ensure that each plant receives the right amount of sunlight for optimum development.
Choice of Biodiversity: We integrate a wide variety of plants to create balanced, resilient ecosystems. This biodiversity promotes not only the health of the green wall, but also that of the urban environment in general.
