ADVANTAGES

What is hemp concrete – Hempcrete?

Hemp concrete is produced by crushing inner stems of the hemp plant into fine chips and adding lime particles and water to them. When the mass dries, a very durable hemp concrete, also known as Hempcrete, is formed.

Hemp concrete has the advantage over other building materials in terms of strength, elasticity, mold resistance and fire resistance, and is also breathable. Hemp concrete, in most cases, is also much cheaper to use than other materials.

Hemp concrete has broad prospects for the future. It is an environmentally friendly, durable and safe material and its importance in construction is evidenced by the fact that, in the United Kingdom, houses made using hemp concrete is eligible for real estate insurance discounts.

Hemp concrete panels

Hemp concrete panels are industrially manufactured using uniquely designed technology that allows for a significant reduction of panel production time. It takes about 30 to 45 days, depending on the season, from the beginning of the production of the hemp concrete panels to the finished product. Industrial production of hemp concrete panels in a controlled environment allows the assembly of this material on site at any time of the year.

A lifetime of hemp panel concrete house is comparable to a masonry house, but construction time is significantly shorter, for example, a 100 square meter hemp concrete panel house frame can be assembled in 3 to 4 days because there is no drying process during construction, which is usually very time-consuming.

Compared to the widely used expanded clay blocks with a material density of 750 kg / m3, hemp concrete is significantly lighter (640 kg / m3), but has a very similar technical features, which allows secure attachment of kitchen appliances, shelfs or flower pots to the walls.

Hemp concrete is a versatile insulation material with an excellent mechanical strength and a high fire resistance (over 120 minutes).
