Minus Plus

Hempitecture Plant Panel X is designed to be used as an exterior rigid continuous insulation that is good for you and our planet. PlantPanel is used in split-insulation wall and roof assemblies with either a rain screen cladding or roofing material, depending on the application. With 100% bio-based and recycled content, PlantPanel is a sustainable, low carbon continuous insulation solution that’s easy to install and safe to handle.  It is the perfect alternative to foam-based, or other less eco-friendly rigid insulation products.

Plant Panel X is an ideal material for exterior rigid insulation due to its ease of installation, dimensional stability, fire resistance, sustained R-value across diverse temperatures, and exceptional vapor permeability.

At 2" thick and with an R-Value of R3.25 per inch, Plant Panel X adds to thermal and acoustic comfort and performance and can be used in any location that might require rigid board type insulation, including, exterior walls, floors, ceilings, even interior walls.  

Plant Panel X is sold in full pallet quantities only.  One pallet includes 11 full sheet panels (4' x 8' x 2"), which covers approx. 352sqft.

Measuring instructions

Orders are placed in full pallet quantities only. Calculate your insulation pallet quantity needs by estimating your total wall square footage and adding 10% "overage" to your square footage estimate. Then divide total wall square footage (including overage) by the sqft/pallet to indicate number of pallets required for a project. Always round up to nearest whole number.

Plant Panel X - 352sqft/pallet
---
Example:
A four wall structure needing 1 layer of exterior board insulation (R6.5).

Each wall measures roughly 20' width x 11' height = 880sqft

880sqft x 1.1 for overage = 968sqft

968sqft / 352sqft/pallet = 2.75 pallets

Rounded up for full pallets - this example requires 3 full pallets of Plant Panel X.
---
In some cold climate zones, it may be recommended/required to use 2 layers of exterior board insulation. If you need R-value greater than R6.5 (one layer of Plant Panel X), you can use two layers stacked with offset seams. This will give you roughly R13 of exterior insulation (4" thick). You will need to order twice the amount in this scenario depicted above (i.e. 6 full pallets).

1-to-1 Rigid Insulation Board Replacement

Plant Panel X are a 1-to-1 drop in replacement for other conventional rigid board insulation products (like foam or mineral wool). HempWool works well when combined with an appropriately designed wall assembly, which includes a WRB, a rainscreen/siding application.

Feel the Hempitecture Difference

Gone are the days of the itchy pink stuff, full-face respirators, and toxic off-gassing. Plant Panel X is safe to touch and handle during installation. Once installed, you can breath easy because it is also completely free of problematic chemicals that typically off-gas from other traditional products. Cleaner indoor air for you and your family all while providing high performing, energy efficient insulation.

Plant Panel X, which is made 100% bio-based and recycled content, mostly derived from industrial hemp plants. It's an insulation that is both naturally carbon-sequestering, energy-efficient, locally manufactured in the US, in a facility run on renewable energy. We truly mean it's clean and green!

The Responsible Insulation Choice

Plant Panel X is plant based - meaning that it is biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and a non-irritant. There are No VOCs and it is Red List Chemical Free, making it one of the healthiest choices for an insulation product. You won't have to worry about toxic off-gassing, or it contributing to toxic waste like from other traditional insulation products.

-

Plant Panel X has great thermal resistance, dimensional stability, resistance to phase shift, and is vapor permeable. It's also naturally resistant to mold and pests. All of these things are important in modern, high-performance constructions. By performance standards, it's the best option available for your home.

A Safe AND Efficient Insulation

Traditional insulation products (like fiberglass, foams and mineral wool) claim to be eco-friendly simply based on one aspect - that they make a home more energy efficient. The reality is that these insulations are fossil fuel dependent, carbon intensive, laced with chemicals linked to negative health effects, and are significantly more harmful to the environment when you look at their overall impact.

Low Embodied Carbon, Highest Carbon Offset

A typical home's second largest carbon producing raw material is insulation (after concrete). While we wait for more mainstream low-carbon concrete options, choosing a natural, low-embodied carbon insulation product is the fastest and most efficient way to immediately make your home more environmentally friendly. Plant Panel X is the perfect choice when wanting to avoid the carbon impact of other common insulation products.
