Sappa.
Acoustic panels pressed from hemp shiv and a cement-free mineral binder. Hemp reaches full height in a season, on little water and no pesticides. For walls and ceilings, brought to Denmark by Beyond Rational.
The material
From the stem,
to the panel.
Hemp needs little water, no pesticides, and reaches full height in a few months rather than years. Sappa reports that it captures atmospheric carbon around twice as efficiently as forestry over that cycle. A rapidly renewable material, by nature.
The panels are pressed from stem chips — the residue left over once fibre is stripped from the plant for other industrial uses. Material that would otherwise be discarded becomes the product.
A cement-free mineral binder holds the hemp chips together, with no synthetic flame retardants added — naturally fire-resistant, and recyclable at end of life.
From field to wall
Hemp,

The panel flat, the fibre close, and the ceilings and walls it ends up in.

Hemp panelTroldtekt
Cement-bonded wood woolNeither panel reaches absorption Class A on its own — both need something behind them, like mineral wool or the air gap our Aisti Aalto® tiles use. Bare or backed, the acoustic performance is genuinely comparable between Sappa and Troldtekt; the real difference is what the panel itself is made from.
