Panels & Wall modulesHemPanel is a wall system based on hemp building practices . This wall system is available as either individual interlocking panels or as prefabricated wall modules. Panels are designed to easily attach to a structural slab or an adjustable stumped footing system. The adaptability of the HemPanel wall system is its strength, fitting seamlessly into various building situations. All structural elements are adaptable to fix or "bolt-up" to HemPanel, ensuring that our product can be securely attached to any structure & vice versa. In our pursuit to integrate seamlessly with existing building & construction practice, our installation process aligns with traditional tilt panel systems. This familiarity is crucial. One that can be worked by all trades. Panel specifications Panel sizes: 1200mm x 2700mm & 3000mm 900mm x 2700mm & 3000mm Thickness: 190mm to 300mm Weight: 330kg/m3 R-Value: Thermal resistance - 1.928 (m2K/W) 250mm thick = R 3 Bush fire attack : BAL FZ

HemPanel Modular HouseHempLab, a prototype for our HemPanel wall system, showcases the potential of a hemp-based, prefabricated small house. This 36.5 square meter dwelling was constructed in four days, reaching a secure "lock-up" stage within a week. Most panel sizes used for the HempLab are 1.2 x 3m x 200mm thick. Internal & external walls rendered with a 10mm thick lime render. Modular housing is not just a luxury solution; it spans a wide range of markets & can be an affordable and practical option for various housing needs.

SustainabilityOur HemPanel is a nature building block. Carbon-negative: Hemp captures more CO2 during growth than is emitted during production, making it a carbon-negative material. HemPanel manufacturing embraces a zero-waste, Cradle to Cradle approach, shifting from the traditional "take, make, dispose" model to a sustainable & regenerative process, benefiting both people & the planet.
