HEMP DRYWALL
Respira Drywall
RespiraDrywall lines internal walls and ceilings and replaces plasterboard, OSB and particleboard with one hemp board. Paint it, render it in clay or lime, or leave it exposed. It shines in feature ceilings, batten and board, and suspended ceiling grids.

What it is
RespiraDrywall can be used both as an internal wall lining, plasterboard replacement or an exposed ceiling panel. It’s light and fast to install.
Also works to create a thermal shield from cold walls like concrete tilt panel and double brick. Stops that cold to the touch feeling. Transforming apartments and commercial spaces.
It always comes with:
Support and technical guidance from pre-construction to aftercare

How it works
RespiraDrywall is screw-fixed directly to timber or metal stud framing at 300–600mm centres, with screws at 200–250mm. It cuts with the same tools as OSB — circular saw, jigsaw or table saw.
The 30mm is tongue and groove, its long edges lock into each other
The 18mm is square edge all round
Both Boards have a flat and a rebated side, just like plasterboard.
RespiraDrywall is for dry interior spaces — not bathrooms, laundries or other wet areas. We can source a dedicated wet-area panel on request.

How to finish
Internal:
Exposed Clear Coat Finish: Highlight the natural look of the board with a vapor-permeable clear coat, adding warmth and feel to living spaces.
Painted Finish: Apply natural tones using oxides for a unique, organic aesthetic that complements various interior styles.
Fully Rendered Finish: Achieve a smooth, refined finish, ideal for a modern and elegant spaces.

Nothing to off-gas
Hemp hurd and a formaldehyde-free, VOC-free binder — no gypsum, no cement, no synthetic resin. That new-house smell that lingers for months is the wall, the adhesive and the paint releasing what's in them. This one has nothing to release.
Handles moisture, doesn't trap it
A sealed wall traps whatever moisture gets in — and trapped moisture is where mould takes hold. RespiraDrywall is vapour-open: it takes moisture in when the air's damp and gives it back when it dries out, instead of holding onto it.
The room feels calmer
Hemp holds heat — specific heat 2100 J/(kg·K), around double gypsum's — so temperature swings less and the room holds its warmth. People describe rooms like this the same way: calm, quiet, less stuffy.
