Building with Hemp.

One of our specialities is building with hemp: a highly versatile and sustainable building material.
Known as “hempcrete” in its construction-friendly format, a hemp aggregate is combined with water and a lime-based binder to create building products including fibreboard, wallboard, roofing tiles, insulation, panelling and bricks. Once a wall is built it can be rendered with a natural render to create a smooth and beautiful finish.

Building with hemp helps create breathable walls which prevents mould and regulates humidity.
This is a key feature of creating healthy-homes. Hempcrete is a vapour permeable building material, with moisture buffering qualities. Hemp homes create a passive humidity control system that reduces the occurrence of issues like moulds and rot. Other qualities include:

  • Hemp has high thermal and acoustic insulation;

  • Hemp is fireproof and termite resistant;

  • Hemp’s life’s cycle, from production to curing
    and carbonating in it’s wall form, is carbon negative;

  • Hemp is a renewable & regenerative material.

“Hemp-based materials have emerged as a favorable alternative to traditional industrialized materials, presenting a multitude of benefits that could revolutionize the construction industry.”
