Modular Wall Material

Wallmark launces new Evowall range of modular fencing panels

Wallmark  recently launched Evowall, an innovative new product range of modular wall and fencing panels designed to reduce noise pollution around the home (by as much as 28 decibels).  

The range consists of a variety of distinct styles and designs for exterior and garden areas. Specifically built for the harsh Australian climate, these fencing panels are coated using high quality protective materials for warp, rust and dent resistance.  

Additionally, the composite fencing panels are constructed of a durable fibre cement outer that is built over a polystyrene centre. These components operate together to minimise unwanted neighbourhood noise.  

The Evowall range is designed not only with functionality in mind, but aesthetics as well. The fencing panels can be finished in a variety of paint textures and colours to suit different home designs and styles.  

The modular nature of the product also ensures seamless incorporation into a backyard or property perimeter, regardless of the size or shape of the area to be covered.

The days of the iconic Australian backyard are numbered. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than two thirds of our population today live in cities. For those in central-city apartment buildings, a garden might consist of an indoor pot plant, a window box or, if really lucky, a balcony the size of a bathtub. In the inner city, it’s usually a paved courtyard. Even in the suburbs, townhouses are being squeezed onto quarter-acre blocks, offering residents an outdoor dining area that eats into any remaining garden space.

It’s enough to drive you up the wall. And that’s exactly where people are going in an effort to bring a little greenery back into their lives. Fresh from the glossy pages of designer magazines, vertical gardens are helping frustrated city dwellers put the jungle back into concrete jungle.

Green Roofs Australia president Sidonie Carpenter says domestic vertical gardens are reasonably easy to create and, with the right position, plants and know-how, can be sustainable.”It’s a really exciting opportunity for people to push the limits and explore a new method of gardening,” Carpenter says. “And, for smaller gardens with limited space, the social and health benefits are fantastic.”

Today’s vertical gardens range far beyond idle trails of ivy traipsing up a wall. There are countless ways to create one and many don’t involve soil. “Look at tropical rainforests where some plants climb over soil-less rock,” says Melbourne landscape designer James Dawson. An array of DIY kits have flooded the market, ranging from horticultural felt-based systems and hydroponic modular set-ups to soil-based modular kits and wire pot plant holders. Of course, DIY gurus should have little trouble fashioning their own versions.

“Plants need three things to grow: water, nutrients and light,” Dawson says. He describes how this works in the case of a felt-based system, similar to that used by French botanist Patrick Blanc in his multi-storey-high creations: the roots intertwine with the material, and water is recycled through the felt, supplying nutrients and hydration directly to the roots.

Many of the hydroponic modular systems are essentially plastic pots filled with a substrate, such as aggregate, peat, coconut coir or rock wool, which holds the roots in place. (Some people prefer an inorganic growing medium because it won’t decompose). The modules are attached to a wall, with an irrigation system installed above.
