All the functions of sound proofing, thermal insulation, exterior coating and wall surface greening, have been integrated into one product. |
Porous ceramic + clay.
Realization of ideal wall surface greening based on the strengths of two materials.
The Green Insulating Foam Tile, GIF-T, is a composite material formed from a porous ceramic foam core and a clay shell frame, providing a plant foundation and thermal barrier. As the foam core and shell frame are fired as a whole, the tile will not disaggregate.
*Tiles are molded to be the same standard size and shape as regular 227mm × 60mm exterior tiles.
*Tile strength is on par with that of regular clay tiles.
*GIF-T tiles can be used in combination with regular tiles.

■Shell frame
Clay tile structure
■Foam core
Porous ceramic layer.
Excellent water holding capacity - an ideal property for fostering vegetation growth. Tiles are packed with special soil, allowing for a sedum and moss-based vegetation bed.
■Hook groove
A groove for the purpose of hooking and fixing the foundation rail to the tile.
■Conduit
Supplies water evenly to lower tiles during rain or watering. |

1.Economic Efficiency
Instead of the traditional method in which greening foundation is attached to the exterior walls, we use exterior walls with tiled module that is already greened. This is actually a new interior/exterior building material that is installed through a simple dry method, and you can save construction or rebuilding costs significantly
|
|
|
2.Advantages of Building Material
Using the ceramic module that is built through dry desorption method enables:
■Durability
Superior waterproof, fireproof and UV resistance features, preventing stress on the building.
■Safety
Green module is easy to replace, and does not get detached or fall with time.
|
|
|
3.Design
Green module can be combined with ordinary tiles, and the combination can also be changed easily because of dry method, enabling us to freely create unique exterior and interior designs.
|
|
|
4. Heat and Noise Insulation
Green module is composed of complex material, and its porosity and airspace between the base layer increases the effect of greening plants, enabling superior heat and noise insulation effect compared to ordinary greening.
|
|
|
5. Industrial Production System
Because of tile module method, not only the manufacturing of module itself, but also the greening process can be done in industrial production system. You can also apply consistent distribution system from storage, shipping and delivery.
|
|
|
6.Recycling
The whole GIF-T System including the base aluminum rail which does not require use of glue can be recycled.
|
2. Advantages of Dry Desorption Method in Construction
a. Shorter construction schedule, less construction costs
b. No stress in construction technique and building’s stress
c. Achieve a balanced greening environment in short time by using greening module
d. Spatial efficiency through single skin method which combines exterior material and greening base. (wall is only 6cm-think while other walls are 20 to 100cm-think)
e. Waterproof
f. Safe with no detachment due to glue degradation
g. Can be placed up to 40m-high
h. Can be rebuilt on top of the existing walls (greening renovation)
i. Keeps the workspace clean
j. Can be built indoor
 |
|
3. Advantages in Layout and Designing
a. High level of freedom in layout and designing
b. Can be applied freely from small surface to large monumental walls
c. Designs can be changed regularly
d. Green module can be replaced and be exchanged with ordinary tile or different types such as flower pots easily.
|
4. Advantages in Maintenance and Recycling
a. Green module can be easily replaced
b. Does not require fertilizer or pruning and resistible to environmental changes and secular change (Rhacomitrium Canescens)
c. GIF-T material (ceramic) and aluminum base rail do not require glue and 100% recyclable.
|
5. Advantages in Utilizing within Interior Space
a. Can be used as air purifier and to provide relaxation, amenity effect and wall design
b. Exhibition effect such as event and media walls
c. Can be used in a house or apartment
(balcony, conduit, fence, garden, etc.)
|
|
 |
6. Advantages in Production and Distribution
a. Can be manufactured with consistent industrial production method. (Stable amount and quality)
b. Process of planting on the green base can also be industrialized
c. Timely shipping and delivery to the construction site
d. The package is designed to be easy for distribution
 |
|
7.Effects of Ordinary Green Walls
Anti global warming (heat-island effect, energy saving), city view, environmental clean-up
a. Exterior Effect
Transpiration, Heat-reflection prevention, Heat band beam prevention/absorption, Noise absorption, Air purifying, CO2 stabilization, building deterioration prevention, aesthetic formation, securing urban amenity and relaxation, etc.
b. Interior Effect
Prevention of temperature increase and decrease (energy saving), noise insulation, etc.
