Curious about INARI’s rice‑husk boards?

Find all the answers in our FAQ.

Ans: INARI Panels are crafted entirely from discarded rice straw — an agricultural byproduct that would otherwise go to waste. By repurposing this material, INARI not only offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials, but also puts to good use a resource that’s typically burned or discarded, turning waste into something valuable.

Performance & Durability

  • Q: Are INARI Panels fire-resistant?
    Ans: Yes. Certified by the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), they offer a 2-hour fire rating with no flame spread or smoke production.

  • Q: How effective are the panels in soundproofing?
    Ans: INARI Panels have a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.62 and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 41, ensuring exceptional noise insulation.

  • Q: Can the panels withstand moisture and humidity?
    Ans: Yes. The dense, compressed core makes them highly resistant to moisture and warping, making them suitable for humid conditions.

  • Q: Are the panels termite and pest-resistant?
    Ans: Yes. The dry extrusion process and dense core make INARI Panels naturally resistant to termites and pests, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Installation & Application

  • Q: What are the standard sizes and thicknesses available?

    • Ans: INARI Panels are available in standard Length: 8, 9, or 10 feet. Width of 2 or 4 feet and Thickness option 50 mm or 90 mm


  • Q: Can the panels be cut or modified on-site?
    Ans: Yes. INARI Panels can be easily cut or shaped using standard tools, making them flexible for various construction needs.

  • Q: Do they require special adhesives or fasteners for installation?
    Ans: No. They can be installed using standard adhesives, screws, and fasteners, making the installation process quick and straightforward.

  • Q: Are INARI Panels suitable for load-bearing walls?
    Ans: No. They are designed for non-load-bearing applications such as partitions, cladding, and interior walls.

  • Q: Can finishes like paint or tiles be applied to the panels?
    Ans: Yes. INARI Panels support various finishes, including paint, wallpaper, tiles, and laminates, making them versatile for different aesthetic preferences.

Technical Specifications

  • Q: What is the thermal conductivity of INARI Panels?
    Ans: INARI Panels have a thermal conductivity of 0.097 W/mK, offering twice the insulation of plasterboard and five times that of red bricks.

  • Q: How strong are the panels?
    Ans: INARI Panels are highly durable and impact-resistant, with a Modulus of Rupture of 6.8 kg/cm² and a Modulus of Elasticity of 1665 kg/cm², making them suitable for a wide range of structural and interior applications.

  • Q: Are INARI Panels lightweight?
    Ans: Yes. With a density of 300–350 kg/m³, they weigh 50% less than plasterboard and significantly less than traditional brick walls, reducing foundation load and making transportation easier.

  • Q: Do the panels offer seismic resistance?
    Ans: Yes. Their lightweight and flexible design makes them suitable for seismic-prone areas.
