Urban green façades for sustainable cities
Schüco AF UDC 80 Green Façade
Bielefeld. More than half of the world's population lives in cities and this trend is on the rise. Densely built-up areas in cities with a lot of paved surfaces mean that green spaces and plants are often lacking. To counteract this, Schüco has developed the aluminium Schüco AF UDC 80 Green Façade. The plants for the façade construction are provided by Vertiko GmbH, the experts in façade greenery. The project solution for the Schüco UDC 80 unitized façade offers a high degree of design freedom with a range of plant types and system structures, enabling a greening system with a particularly large leaf mass on the building. The planted, fleece-based modules are made from a Class A non-flammable material and the green façade impresses with its high degree of prefabrication that enables quick and easy installation.

Instead of the greenery being planted in the ground, the Schüco AF UDC 80 Green Façade offers a solution where the plants grow on the façade itself.

By allowing certain sections of the façade to be planted with greenery, the Schüco AF UDC 80 provides a high level of design freedom, enabling individual patterns to be created.
