Green Roof and Green Wall Happenings
Junglefy has had a busy start to the year with a number of exciting projects underway. It is a clear sign that the demand for sustainable technologies is on the rise as confidence returns to the construction sector.
Of the projects underway, three of them are living walls around the country using the ecoVert Pro green wall system. Junglefy has a double sided green wall in Melbourne that has been designed with no fixings into the floor. The benefits of this mean that the wall can be moved to another premises in the coming years as the business grows without the need for rectification. This is a five star green star fit-out and the vertical garden totals 30m2. Junglefy also has another green star green wall fit-out in Brisbane that totals 10m2. Our largest current project has commenced in Canberra where twelve vertical gardens are being installed over 12 floors of a new building. The walls make use of low energy envirolux lamps and metal halide lighting. The total of these vertical gardens is in excess of 100m2.
Also on the drawing board are a number of green roof projects around the country. Junglefy is involved in the construction of a garden roof project in the Blue Mountains that will utilise the ZinCo FD40 green roof system. This system was chosen over other systems due to its water holding capacity, waterproofing protection and proven track record in green roof installations.
Other garden roof projects in the pipeline include schools in Tasmania and Sydney, a strata project in Sydney, a university and several other commercial projects. Further updates on these projects will be provided as they develop further. So as you can see there are many exciting project on the go and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.

New Blog
I have started a new blog showcasing growing food in a Sydney suburban garden in places food is not traditionally grown namely the roof of a chook house and a sunny brick wall.
The blog will closely follow the hurdles and successes and make available any findings that make growing food on garden roofs and vertical gardens possible for anyone.
The blog can be viewed by following this link to foodupthere
Please check it out.
