• The appliance only works properly where the climbing plants cling directly to the surface of the wall (no wisteria, clematis etc. where the shoots would sprout beyond the metal sections).
• Does not break down and the appliance does not require any maintenance.
• Is completely invisible when the vegetation reaches the level of the metal panel.
• Is cost-effective; you can recoup the cost in 2 years as you save at least double the cost of a gardener and scaffolding/lift every year.
• Is effective, irrespective of the height of the building, even when more than 100 m tall.
• Prevents rodents from getting into the house via the roof thanks to an electric current which passes through the metal section.
• Costs next to nothing (barely a few euros a year).
• Is not at all dangerous so long as the necessary precautions relating to the use of any electrical appliance are respected.
• Shoots of Virginia creepers, ivy etc. will no longer be able to reach the cornices and tiles (which over time would damage the paintwork, block gutters, etc.) .
• No more need for a ladder, thereby reducing the risk of falling.
• No more bulky waste: the young shoots are burned as soon as they touch the metal panel.
• They provide a natural, decorative look.
• When trained over a wall in good condition, the protection provided by the vegetation in the event of rain outweighs any possible damage caused by the roots, tendrils, suckers, etc
• It has been scientifically proved that plants purify the air in the immediate area around buildings.
• They help to hide certain unaesthetic wall surfaces (industrial buildings, etc.).
• They create large areas of plant growth, even if you do not have a garden (houses in urban areas, etc).
• Birds can build their nests, sleep and feed in the vegetation (in particular sparrows whose numbers are falling sharply in cities).
• They give a fresh new look to buildings in an eco-friendly manner.
