CORRUGATED HEMP & BIO RESIN BOARDS
Material
Our corrugated sheets are made from Hemp fibres within bio-resin matrix . They can be used as a rain screen in the way
you might use corrugated steel, PVC and bitumen sheets. Hemp represents a huge eco value over traditional materials
such as plastic, with extremely high carbon sequestration. The high natural cellulose content (60-70%) of the plant makes
it a great plastic alternative.
Info
The sheets can be used externally to form L
a rain screen or internally as ceiling or wall Material
linings or other acoustic treatments.

Rain screen
A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture-
resistant surface.
Installation
Like that of cement-fibre corrugations.
It is suggested that when installing natural fibre corrugated boards on the roof, the corners should
have a small mitre on opposite corners of a 4-board overlap. This is so that only two of the boards
overlap to prevent excess ingress of moisture behind the boards or any excess bending that will
cause the board to warp. Each board not on the perimeter should have two mitres. The opposite
mitres will butt against each other to reduce the stacking of the overlap.
Suggested overlaps
Vertical overlap, 10cm
Horizontal overlap, 2 ridges (15cm)
Fixings
All fixing spots should be pre-drilled. Each board should have two fixing points on each purlin/
studbar. Drill a 2mm larger hole than the fixing on the peak, NOT valley, of the board.
Insert the fixing and a sealing washer, ensure the sealing washer is tightened correctly to prevent
water ingress.
Weathering
Our Hemp panels are made from natural fibres and a natural resin system. They will weather and
change in colour over time. Being a natural fibre, it will absorb water and sun light will lighten its
colour.

Values
During these extraordinary and urgent times to nurture the environment, we’re continuing our hemp adventure, creating
materials that will help support the health of our Planet. A journey that began for us by literally growing the Margent
farmhouse and HQ in Cambridgeshire.
The Research & Development has been extensive and costly and we’re now seeking the support of the wider community to
join the venture and make our materials a larger-scale production reality. We are pioneering the way for energy efficient and
sustainable composite manufacturing to deliver a viable natural product for the construction world.
Air, Sea, Earth & Us
Hemp in these times is an undervalued crop that sequesters carbon from our atmosphere at an extraordinary rate (15 tons
CO2 per Hectare). We can all help by locking that carbon into projects that we can all use. Hemp has 60-70% cellulose, a
building block for a plastic that doesn’t damage our oceans. The seeds give us extremely healthy foods full of omega 3,6, &
9 and the long plant roots help to de-compact our much beleaguered top soil.
