Made from fast-growing perennial grass, Plantd panels are engineered as drop-in replacements for traditional plywood, specifically for wall sheathing and roof decking without cutting down trees. Third-party lab tests report superior strength, moisture resistance, and environmental performance.
Suitable Climates: Designed for high-performance in varied climates.
Humid/Wet: More moisture-resistant than OSB, reducing swelling, warping, and mold risks.
High Wind Areas: Enhanced strength makes them suitable for storm-prone regions.
Extreme Temperatures: Withstands both heat and cold better than standard plywood; resistant to drought and flooding.
Benefits: 1.4× stronger and 2× more moisture-resistant than OSB, 50% better nailhead pull-through, and 10% better withdrawal resistance. Carbon-negative, with 71% lower CO₂ emissions from manufacturing. Contains little to no added formaldehyde, fillers, waxes, or harmful adhesives.
Drawbacks: Limited long-term performance data due to its recent introduction to the market.
Applications: Used for walls and roofs in residential and commercial buildings as a sustainable alternative to plywood.
