Conditions
Is your project suitable for MossCrete™?
MossCrete can be applied to a wide range of facades and structures. To ensure a successful moss facade, every project is assessed against a number of practical and structural conditions.
Substrate
Plaster is only possible on coarse, mineral substrates such as concrete or masonry. If the substrate is too smooth, it is roughened first. Non-mineral substrates are not suitable for plaster; in that case Respyre’s facade panel system is used instead.
Facade layout
Large, continuous facade surfaces are the most efficient. Interruptions such as windows and recesses are possible, but they require custom work and should stay limited.
Construction
For facade cladding, whether panels or plaster, the load-bearing capacity of the existing wall must be sufficient. The maximum load will be approx. 40 kg/m².
South-facing facades
Shaded facades are the most suitable. Facades with high sun and wind exposure, such as south-facing walls, need extra attention in design and irrigation.
Growing season
The moss coating is applied between March and September.
Ideal starting situation
The reference project shows the type of project where the system performs best.
- A project of at least 100 m²
- An industrial building
- Few windows: a large, continuous surface without many interruptions
- Preferably no south-facing facade, because too much direct sun dries out the moss layer
- Water available on site, for even and more predictable growth
- An easily accessible facade, which keeps installation simple
