If a residential building is to be protected from heat in the summer, a green facade is particularly suitable. It not only provides natural heat protection for the occupants and the property, but also looks good. In addition, it brings many ecological advantages. But before the greening of the outer facade is begun, the project should be voted on in the condominium owners' meeting (WEG). This is because, from a legal point of view, greening the facade is a structural change to the common property, as the visual appearance of the residential complex is changed. If an owner does not agree with the planned measure, he or she can challenge the resolution.
Whether climbing or climbing plants such as climbing roses, clematis, blue vine or wild vine, the possibilities for facade design are many. Ivy, on the other hand, is not suitable, because it can cause damage or cracks on the facade. First of all, it is important to find out whether a climbing or climbing aid must be attached to the wall for the plants to grow. Likewise, it should be noted that some plant species need rather sunny or shady locations and have different maintenance requirements.
Another advantage is that the plants can be easily removed from the exterior facade at a later date if the planting is no longer desired. Since plants on house walls also offer many advantages for the environment, some municipalities promote the measures for facade greening with financial subsidies. Interested parties can find information on the subsidy programs at the green space, environmental or building office responsible in the city or municipality.
