What can Mobilane Green Screens be used for?
Mobilane green screens are extremely versatile and we cater to the commercial market through to residential. We have several different methods of installation with a solution available for most projects.
The Green Screens can be installed on timber or powder coated steel posts, planted into GRP, timber, aluminium or powder coated steel planter boxes or fixed to an existing structure using our stainless steel cabling system.
As the Mobilane ivy green screens are grown to height around a metal internal mesh, they provide instant impact results.

Scientific Facts and further information of urban greening:
The amount of particulate matter (PM) collected by an average city tree can be matched by just 13 linear metres of ivy screens or living hoarding (covered with hedera helix ivy).

Installing green screens in urban streets can reduce street-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide by as much as 40% and up to 60% for particulate matter (PM).
