Flatmoss (Plagiothecium undulatum), also known as wavy-leaved cotton moss, is a common moss species found across Europe. As its name suggests, it has a relatively flat structure, measuring approximately 1 to 2 cm in height. Pillowmoss (Leucobryum glaucum), also referred to as pincushion moss, is a leafy moss commonly found in Europe. It typically grows in globular shapes, with a thickness of 1 to 6 cm and a diameter ranging from 5 to 25 cm.
Properties & Processing
After harvesting, the moss is carefully dried, preserved, and coloured using eco-friendly methods in Moswand.eu’s own production facilities. This makes it permanently soft, elastic, dirt-repellent, and fire-retardant, while ensuring it is no longer living. Treated using an immersion technique, the preservation process penetrates the entire moss structure rather than just the surface, guaranteeing an exceptionally long lifespan. The production process is energy-neutral, relying on sustainable practices free from harmful substances and fossil fuels. Both types of mosses are available in several shades of green.
Key Features:
- Eco-Friendly Colouring: Sustainable pigments are used, minimizing the risk of discoloration.
- Colour Transfer: The moss may transfer colour upon contact; stains can be removed with water and soap. Protective measures are recommended.
- Fire Retardant & Dirt-Repellent: Treated to be both flame-resistant and antistatic.
- Soft & Flexible: Preserved using non-GMO vegetable glycerin, ensuring lasting softness.
- Sustainable Adhesion: Can be processed using special glue made with potato starch as a base ingredient.
- Indoor Use Only: The moss is not suitable for outdoor applications.
- Natural Scent: The moss emits a mild natural scent, which gradually fades over time and is completely harmless.
This high-quality, sustainably processed moss is an excellent choice for interior design applications, offering a long-lasting, maintenance-free natural aesthetic.
