Artificial Tree Design & Specification Guides
Species selection, height-to-ceiling ratios, trunk finish and anchoring detailing — the specification material an architect or interior designer needs before an artificial tree is written into a project.
The pages below are written to be attached to a specification package. Each one works through the numbers a contractor will be asked to defend: what height clears a 4.2 m atrium soffit without crowding the sightline, which trunk diameter carries a 6 m canopy without visible flex, and how a base plate is detailed when the finished floor is a raised access floor. Where a figure depends on the venue — wind exposure, seismic zone, sprinkler layout — we say so rather than quoting one convenient number. If the design is still open, start with the sizing guides; if it is already fixed, go straight to anchoring and finish.
