HYVERT Experiment 11.11.22
WHP Manchester
Installing a temporary HYVERT living wall system within one of Manchester’s best known nightspots, The Warehouse Project (WHP) was definitely a first for us.
But on this occasion, it had nothing to do with creating a biophilic installation, the reason for HYVERT’s three-day presence was purely scientific.


The temporary rigging-up of HYVERT at WHP happened earlier one Wednesday morning in readiness for a busy Friday night packed with crowds and performing DJs.
I Want Plants MD Richard Rowlands and Head of R&D, Joseph Rouse stayed for the duration of the testing and the HYVERT installation and scientific testing equipment was removed from WHP early the following morning.
The result
A successful experiment with precise noise abatement recordings achieved
Our HYVERT living wall system successfully absorbed 9.3 dB (Decibels) in the 1 -10 kHz frequency range.
And since this experiment first took place, we have since established that HYVERT, works most effectively dampening sound frequencies between 2.5 - 7 kHz.
Adapted into workspace settings, this has meant building occupants experience a quieter space to work.
Take a look at the video below which captured the whole experiment!
