Panel Sizes: A Closer Look

Choosing the right panel size impacts coverage, installation speed, and design flexibility.

  • Premium panels (20x20 in) are modular, ideal for custom designs.
  • Elite panels (40x40 in) simplify large installations.
  • Basic panels (24x16 in) are budget-friendly, practical for smaller indoor projects.

Always measure your area to calculate coverage accurately.

Understanding Material Quality and Durability

Material selection affects realism, UV resistance, and lifespan.

  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) & Virgin PVC: Premium materials offering realistic textures, durability, and resistance to fading or environmental wear, ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings.
  • Recycled Plastics: A sustainable and affordable choice, suitable primarily for indoor environments due to lack of UV protection and shorter lifespan.

UV Protection: Indoor vs Outdoor Panels

UV resistance is crucial for outdoor longevity.

  • UV-Protected Panels: Premium and Elite collections withstand sun exposure for 5–8 years.
  • Non-UV Panels: Basic collection is best for indoor décor, lasting 2–4 years.

Types of Fake Plant Wall by Collection

Each collection offers unique design and aesthetic features.

  • Premium Artificial Green Walls: Boxwood, Jasmine, Myrtle, Gardenia, Japanese Fern, Mixed Fern. Versatile for creative customization.
  • Elite Artificial Greenery Walls: Black Forest, Tropical Mix. High realism with lifelike textures and depth.
  • Basic Artificial Hedge Walls: Indoor Boxwood. Simple, affordable option for interiors.

Choosing the Best Option for Your Project

Consider:

  • Location: Indoor vs outdoor
  • UV Protection: Required for sunlight exposure
  • Style: Uniform hedge or mixed foliage textures
  • Coverage: Calculate area to avoid shortages or waste
