Hemp lime is an environmentally friendly building material that uses only a fraction of the energy required by traditional building materials. Lime hemp also absorbs CO2 during the curing process. It has excellent insulation properties and meets the demand for healthy and energy-efficient living. Hemp lime therefore offers an excellent basis for a suistainable building. We have developed a production line for prefab hemp lime panels.

The operational net zero production facility produced roof panels with maximum dimensions of up to 6 x 3 metres. The panels are pressed in the factory, which guarantees consistent quality and detailed production. Note:- Conduit runs are installed during the pressing process After a drying period of 3 months, we deliver the panels to the construction location so the roof can be installed .

The R-value measures thermal resistance used in the building and construction to rate the effectiveness of insulation materials. Simply put, it tells you how good an insulation material is at resisting the heat flow.  The higher the R-value, the better the insulation quality.
While the R-value insulation is a universal concept, it's important to note that the specific ratings you'll encounter in the UK might be presented differently. Instead of R-values, UK building regulations often focus on U-values for insulation. 

But what is U-value insulation? Unlike R-rating insulation, it measures the rate of heat lossthrough a specific building element, like a wall or roof. Lower U values indicate better insulation performance and are expressed in W/m²K (Watts per square meter per Kelvin). 

For instance, the external wall U-valuerequirement in new buildings in the UK is typically around 0.18 W/m²K, equivalent to an R-value of 5.56 m²K/W. The U-value for existing walls is 0.30 W/m²K with an R-value insulation equivalent of 3.33 m²K/W.

Beyond just keeping you warm, the best R-value insulation solution for your home offers you a multitude of advantages. Let's explore some of the key benefits of using high R-value insulation materials
