So why do we choose to build with hemp?

Our experience working in the building industry has taught us that hemp combined with lime offers unique and outstanding natural properties that cannot be matched by conventional building materials.

High thermal Performance

Hemp displays extraordinary thermal performance. It has the ability to both insulate and store heat, providing you with a more comfortable and constant internal temperature. Combined with a lime or clay plaster finish to internal surfaces, hempcrete provides a passive means of regulating relative humidity thereby reducing your reliance on mechanical heating, cooling and ventilation.

Non-toxic

A healthy building means healthy occupants. Numerous studies suggest the level of toxins inside a typical conventional home can be greater than that of outdoor air. Hempcrete contains no harmful chemicals and will not 'off-gas' over time. Hempcrete is entirely compatible with non-toxic natural plant-based oil finishes, lime washes and renders. Hemp's natural ability to control interior humidity levels helps to eliminate the incidence of toxic mould growth.

High fire resistance

Building with hempcrete means safer buildings. The composition of the lime binder ensures that every particle of hemp in the hemp and lime mixture is coated. This provides outstanding fire ratings, does not rot and is pest-resistance without the need for treatment with potentially harmful chemicals.
