What is reindeer moss?
Reindeer moss is a preserved lichen used to make maintenance-free acoustic and decorative wall panels. It needs no water, soil, or light, and it keeps its soft texture for up to 10 years. GreenMood's Reindeer Moss wall is lab-tested to NRC 0.35 (ISO 11654) and is sustainably hand-harvested in Northern Europe. It comes in a wide range of colors and installs on almost any interior surface.
Do moss walls absorb sound?
Yes. Preserved moss walls absorb sound, and how much depends on the moss type. GreenMood's Ball Moss reaches a lab-tested NRC of 0.73 (ISO 11654), comparable to engineered acoustic panels, while Reindeer Moss reaches NRC 0.35. Unlike fabric-wrapped panels, the sound absorption comes from the natural material itself, with no synthetic foam or fiberglass core. This makes moss walls a way to add acoustic comfort and a biophilic look in a single surface.
What are cork acoustic wall tiles and panels?
Cork acoustic wall tiles are sound-absorbing panels made from natural cork. GreenMood's cork tiles (Morse, Sillon, Parenthese and Brickx, designed by Alain Gilles) are 92% natural cork granules, lab-tested to ISO 11654, with the Morse tile reaching NRC 0.4. They add three-dimensional texture and warmth to commercial interiors while reducing noise, with no plastic or foam backing, and they are hypoallergenic and dust-free.
Preserved moss wall vs living wall: what is the difference?
A preserved moss wall uses real moss that has been stabilized to last for years with no maintenance: no water, soil, light, or irrigation. A living green wall uses live plants that need watering, lighting, drainage, and ongoing care. Preserved moss walls suit most commercial interiors because they deliver the biophilic appearance and acoustic benefit without the upkeep, cost, or water-damage risk of a living wall. See the full comparison on preserved moss walls vs living walls.
Moss wall vs acoustic panel: which absorbs more sound?
A moss wall and a traditional acoustic panel both absorb sound, but a moss wall does it with 100% natural material and a biophilic appearance, while most acoustic panels use fabric-wrapped fiberglass or PET foam. GreenMood's Ball Moss reaches NRC 0.73, comparable to engineered panels, so a project can get acoustic performance and a natural look in one surface rather than choosing between them. See the lab-data comparison.
Do preserved moss walls need maintenance?
No. Preserved moss walls are maintenance-free. They need no watering, sunlight, soil, or trimming. Because the moss is naturally preserved, it stays soft and vibrant for 7 to 10 years indoors. Occasional light dusting is all that is required. Panels should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity or outdoor exposure to preserve their color and texture.
Are moss walls fire rated?
Yes. GreenMood's preserved moss walls meet ASTM E84 Class A (Flame Spread Index 0) for US commercial interior finish requirements, and carry a B-s1-d0 to B-s2-d0 rating in European standards. Cork tiles are ASTM E84 Class B. Independent fire test reports and specification sheets are available on the downloads page.
How long do preserved moss walls last?
Preserved moss and foliage walls last 7 to 10 years indoors under normal conditions. Reindeer Moss keeps its natural form and color for up to 10 years, and preserved moss panels for up to 7. They are backed by a declaration of conformity and should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture, and outdoor exposure.
Are moss walls sustainable?
Yes. GreenMood's products are made from 100% natural, renewable materials: preserved moss, lichen, foliage, and cork. The greenery is preserved with a chemical-free, water-free process, and the products contribute to LEED v5 and WELL v2 credits. Because they need no water, light, or replacement plants, they use fewer resources over their lifetime than a living wall.
