A novel building system based on hemp.
Phyto-board is an engineered building material solution designed to simplify construction assemblies through high-integrity hemp fiber composition.
Developed for architects, builders, and structural specifiers seeking direct, verifiable material clarity. The Phyto-board system combines structural enclosure, thermal stability, and clean mechanical integration into standardized modular dimensions.
Engineered exclusively with verified industrial hemp stalks and non-synthetic binding matrix for architectural predictability.
Engineered System Architecture
Phyto-board organizes agricultural hemp into a high-density, three-part architectural composite. Every constituent fraction serves a quantifiable mechanical role in the structural envelope.
Microporous matrix offering structural dead-load reduction and thermal dampening.
Silicate-reinforced bio-polymer binding cellular fibers into rigid monolithic panels.
Oriented continuous bast fiber skin resisting multi-axial shear and flexural deflection.
Continuous Multi-Layer Mechanical Interlock
Phyto-board panels utilize precision-milled edge profiles to form an airtight shear plane across framing studs without separate petroleum-derived vapor membranes.

Assembly and Integration Logic
Phyto-board installs using standard architectural carpentry tools and conventional framing dimensions. Review the 4-phase assembly sequence below to understand how the hemp-based building system interfaces with structural studs, thermal insulation, and external cladding planes.
Substrate & Framing Alignment
Standardized framing installation compatible with 400mm and 600mm on-center timber or cold-formed steel studs.
Phyto-board panels integrate directly into standard timber and light-gauge steel structural framing. Substrate framing must maintain a maximum deviation tolerance of 2mm per 2-meter span before panel application to ensure uniform vapor plane continuity.
Framing & Material Compatibility Data
Measured against nominal architectural installation guidelines.
On-center framing compatible with standard timber and cold-formed steel profiles.
Standardized architectural modular format with engineered lightweight handling profile.
150mm perimeter fastener centers with 15mm minimum board edge margin.
High-permeability matrix ensuring passive hygric buffering across external wall envelopes.

Material Properties & Rationale
Phyto-board is engineered from natural industrial hemp fibers and mineral binders, yielding an architectural substrate that optimizes thermal lag, carbon storage, and internal vapor regulation without petrochemical additives.
