DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF LIVING FENCES

What if your space could enjoy all the environmental, health, and aesthetic benefits of a natural hedge without the associated investment in time, effort and expertise required to grow and nurture it?

With the use of instant hedges called Green Screens, this is possible. Mobilane Green Screens are an instant green hedging screen which can be installed with the ease of a fence to create a natural, green setting. Whether in smaller private spaces such as the balcony or in larger-scale developments in the public realm, green screens offer instant privacy, nature-inspired impact and many more advantages.

Green Screens reduce noise levels

Plants have been used for centuries as natural barriers to noise. Trees and shrubs can absorb and reflect sound waves, helping to reduce noise levels. Green Screen instant hedges act as a physical barrier, blocking noise from reaching certain areas. Plants with thick foliage and dense branches are more effective at reducing noise levels. Planting multiple rows of Green Screens creates a layered effect, which can help to absorb and reflect sound waves.

Improvement of air quality

According to research conducted by Staffordshire University, Hedera helix ‘Woerner’ can reduce fine dust with 40 to 60%. Thus a Green Screen contributes to a natural, healthy environment and greener urban areas – whether its benefits are enjoyed by passers-by or full-time residents, company employees or the general public.

Additionally, a green environment can create a calming effect, which can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Using a Green Screen as a garden fence also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the area, creating a more visually appealing and enjoyable environment.

Easy installation with biodegradable planter

The Mobilane Green Screen is a versatile solution consisting of a structural steel grid, with posts and brackets anchoring the screen into the ground, intertwined with climbing plants, which are bedded in a coconut fibre root container. Screens are 120cm wide and up to 3m tall and can be installed as a standalone screen in a planter, or as a mile-long fence, and everything in between. Once the Mobilane Green Screen is installed, the biodegradable coconut planter completely degrades within one or two years, allowing the plant root systems to fully bed into the local soil and ecology.

From private balcony to business park

From private gardens and primary schools to new housing developments, business parks and infrastructure projects; the adaptability of the Mobilane Green Screen – in terms of plant species, height, and structural material – always makes them a success. Green screens are also being deployed at neighbourhood-scale residential projects, where they can be used to quickly establish boundaries between plots, and alongside the M11 in Harlow to reduce noise and air pollution simultaneously.

Variety contributes to help support the ecosystems

Living plants contribute to biodiversity, which – due to the new Biodiversity Net Gain policy being rolled out in the UK this November – is of increasing importance to local authorities, developers, and specifiers. The Green Screen is available in different plant species, each with its own characteristics and benefits. A climate-friendly garden contributes to biodiversity. The screens not only provide shelter and nesting opportunities for animals such as birds and insects like butterflies, they also provide food. For instance, the flowers of Jasmine and Pyracantha hedges are very popular with bees and butterflies. The berries of Hedera and Pyracantha, on the other hand, provide food for birds. Hedgehogs also find a nice hiding and overwintering place under the hedge. Mobilane Green Screens can help to support the wider ecosystems and food chains that we all depend on.
