How do I install a new facade on my living wall?

Remove the old front panel by gently lifting it toward you from the bottom. Position the new front panel so that it aligns with the top clips, then gently press it into place until it clicks. The process takes less than 30 seconds.

Does the facade play an acoustic role?

Yes, the recycled PET felt panel is the sound-absorbing component of the panel. With an NRC of 0.8, it absorbs 80% of mid-to-high frequencies. The more panels you have in a multi-panel system, the more effective the sound absorption becomes.

Is the facade washable?

The front panel can be dusted with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush attachment or a dry cloth. If there are any stains, you may gently dab the area with soapy water. Avoid soaking or machine washing, as this will damage the felt.

Are the facades made from recycled materials?

Yes, all Artena facades are made from high-density PET felt (1900 g/m²) produced from recycled plastic bottles. The facade is eco-friendly, decorative, and provides excellent sound insulation.

Is an M-size front panel compatible with an L-size panel?

No, the M (40×40 cm) and L (60×40 cm) sizes are not interchangeable because the frame dimensions differ. Be sure to order the front panel in the size that matches your painting.
