How and Where to Design a Living Wall to Meet Fire Regulations

The CPD

Covering how living walls are fire tested and breaking down what a system's rating really means. More importantly, we'll discuss where living walls can and can't be used, things to watch out for in the market and design amendments to improve fire safety.

You'll also gain a clear understanding of the 4 steps to a fully compliant living wall installation. The aim is for you to leave this session with a better understanding of fire safety around green walls, and where and how you can design them into your projects safely.
