High strength and durability Hemp fibers are up to 4 times stronger than cotton fibers, making them highly durable. Hemp-based composites have been shown to be 3 times stronger than traditional fiberglass in some applications, particularly in automotive and construction materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Plant Based Materials?

Plant-based materials offer numerous advantages including: • Superior sustainability and renewable resource usage • Excellent thermal and acoustic properties • Lower carbon footprint compared to traditional materials • Natural resistance to mold and pests • Healthier indoor air quality

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly ?

Hempcrete is made from hemp hurds, lime, and water, making it a renewable, biodegradable, and carbon-negative building material. It absorbs CO₂ as it cures, reducing its environmental impact.

Lightweight & Insulating ?

Hempcrete is much lighter than concrete and provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing energy costs for heating and cooling. However, it is not a structural material and requires a supporting framework.

Fire & Pest Resistant ?

Due to its high lime content, hempcrete is naturally resistant to fire, mold, and pests, making it a durable and safe building material.

Regulates Humidity ?

Hempcrete is highly breathable, allowing moisture to pass through and helping regulate indoor humidity levels, which improves air quality and reduces the risk of mold growth.

Important Things

While hempcrete construction may cost 10-25% more upfront than traditional methods, it can lead to significant savings on energy and maintenance over the building’s lifetime. It is most cost-effective for eco-conscious homeowners or builders who prioritize sustainability and long-term efficiency over immediate affordability.
Hempcrete is highly resistant to pests, including termites, rodents, and insects, making it a great choice for long-lasting, low-maintenance construction.
The first hempcrete home was built in 1994 in France by architect Philippe Starck, marking the start of hempcrete’s use in modern construction. It gained popularity in Europe, particularly in France, the UK, and Germany, for sustainable building. Its use has since expanded, but remains niche compared to traditional materials.
