Hemp ‘shiv’, which is the inner woody core of industrial hemp plants, are cut into short lengths and mixed with a binder. This is primarily made up of hydraulic lime which is combined with water. When mixed it becomes porridge like in consistency, and is ready to place into the formwork to form monolithic walls of the house, both interior and exterior. Mixing only takes a couple of minutes (with the right hardware), and once the hempcrete has been placed, it is firm within an hour, solid…

Hempcrete is completely natural and free from synthetic, fossil fuel based materials. Because hempcrete is naturally fire-retardant and pest-resistant (nothing eats lime!) there is no need to add chemicals to ensure its performance in these areas (as is usually the case with lightweight synthetic insulation materials). Chemicals added to conventional insulation materials often contain Volatile
