RESEARCH EXPLAINER
Cast, block or panel?
Choose a system, not a slogan.
Choose a system, not a slogan. Get project-specific advice before committing.
Cast hemp-lime
Cast approaches are placed on site, commonly around a supporting frame. Ask about workmanship, temporary works, weather protection, mix control and drying.
Blocks
Precast blocks can change site sequencing and material handling. Confirm the exact manufacturer’s details for bases, openings, junctions, mortars and finishes.
Panelised approaches
Off-site panels may be available from specialist providers, but do not assume availability, approvals or performance. Confirm the precise system and UK delivery, lifting and installation requirements.
Your comparison checklist
Ask each supplier for technical evidence, delivery times, training, installer support, full-system drawings and a project-specific quotation.
