The BluWater Solutions Modular Green Wall Cassette with Habitats goes beyond conventional living wall systems by integrating dedicated wildlife habitat features directly into the cassette structure. Designed for projects where biodiversity is a genuine design objective — not just an afterthought — this system delivers measurable ecological value alongside the visual and environmental benefits of a planted vertical surface.

Each cassette is manufactured from durable aluminium and includes 12 plug plant spaces, allowing species to be selected to complement the habitat features and maximise ecological performance. Integrated habitat elements provide structured shelter for solitary bees, butterflies, ladybirds and lacewings — insects that play a vital role in pollination and natural pest regulation in both urban and peri-urban environments.

The relationship between planting and wildlife is intentional: nectar-rich flowering species attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while denser, mixed planting provides year-round refuge for beneficial insects like ladybirds and lacewings. Specifying a considered plant palette maximises the system’s ecological contribution and supports a wall that actively changes and improves with the seasons.

Hydrorock growing media manages moisture efficiently within each cassette, supporting robust root development and reducing the risk of waterlogging — a key consideration for installations that may be harder to access for routine maintenance. Cassettes connect together to build walls of any scale and can be linked to an outdoor tap, a dedicated irrigation supply, or integrated with BluWater Solutions Modular Green Roof Cassettes for a fully joined-up green infrastructure solution.

For engineers and architects working to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements under the Environment Act 2021, or BREEAM Ecology credits, the Habitat Cassette provides a verifiable, product-level approach to delivering measurable biodiversity value on constrained urban sites where ground-level habitat creation is limited. The system is equally relevant to planning authorities, housing developers and commercial property owners seeking to demonstrate ecological responsibility within the built environment.

For homeowners, this cassette offers a meaningful and manageable way to contribute to local biodiversity — attracting beneficial insects, softening boundary walls and creating a garden feature that does more than simply look good.

Also available as the Modular Green Wall Cassette (without habitats) and the Modular Green Roof Cassette for horizontal surfaces.

Note: The supporting wall must be structurally capable of carrying the installed load. Fixings are not supplied and should be selected to suit the substrate — masonry, concrete, timber or steel.
