ModCell™ is the first product to make large-scale, carbon-negative building a commercial reality.
The ModCell™ system utilises the excellent thermal insulation qualities of straw bale and hemp construction to form prefabricated panels, made in a local Flying Factory™.
ModCell™ allows super-insulated, high-performance, low energy ‘passive’ buildings to be built using renewable, locally sourced, carbon sequestering materials.
ModCell™ is designed for use in housing, schools, offices and commercial buildings.
This innovative, offsite-manufactured wall and roof cladding system can be quickly and efficiently installed, creating buildings with thermal performance up to three times higher than the current building regulations require.
This super-insulated system, combined with our airtight details, means that buildings constructed using ModCell™ panels meet the demanding PassivHaus specification. As a result, ModCell™ buildings can have zero heat requirements, saving money and CO2 emissions.

ModCell™ Panels are available in two variants:
ModCell Straw™ ModCell Hemp™
Both can be dry-lined or rendered. Lime render and plasters conform to mortar category CSII according to BS EN 998-1; Contain hydraulic lime as the bonding agent; and are breathable (water and vapour permeable). ModCell™ Panels are delivered to site with a two layer render finish in and out. Finish skim coats are site applied off of a scaffold or cherry picker to internal and external grades.
Dry-lining finishes vary from project to project, ModCell™ can factory fix the battening for dry-lining, but do not supply the dry-lining materials.
ModCell™ panels can be lifted into position on site using a telescopic arm or crane. The mass of the largest ModCell™ panel is 1.7 tonnes. Panels are located with a 20mm gap between each and are sealed using compressible tapes.
Weathering details vary from project to project and are not supplied by ModCell™.
