Pro Wall® Living Wall Design Creates Major Florida Exterior Art Piece
Delray Beach, FL. – (March 12, 2019) – GSky Plant Systems, Inc., a global industry leader in the design and production of interior and exterior green walls, announces installation of a custom Pro Wall® living wall system at the new iPic Entertainment corporate headquarters and theater in Delray Beach, Florida. Pro Wall® systems are ideal for corporate campuses, hotels, malls, retail storefronts, apartment and condominium buildings, and more.
The advanced Pro Wall® green wall system features one-foot-by-one-foot pre-grown planted panels of durable rockwool, offering a highly customizable palette for vertical exterior designs of small or expansive dimensions.
“The green wall at iPic instantly became a focal point for our city and downtown area. The green wall through its shapes, colors, and textures of the plant material is an artistry for the entire community to enjoy.”

Additionally, the system’s waste-reducing drip irrigation design minimizes water usage.
