Hempcrete

HEMPCRETE

HEMPCRETE has no equal as a natural building product sequestering carbon dioxide for the life of the building. By combining water, hemp aggregate and lime-based binder to produce excellent thermal insulating and acoustic properties, hempcrete;

·         Buffers temperature and humidity,

·         prevents damp and mould growth,

·         making inside the building a comfortable healthy environment.

·         It is fire and termite resistant,

·         lightweight and forms a hard wall surface yet is vapour permeable to help reduce humidity and prevent condensation



Hempcrete will be my material of choice. The advantages of Hempcrete are simply to good to pass up. If I am going to design an environmentally conscious building, I need an environmentally conscious exterior skin. Hempcrete will ensure my design is a healthy one.
