Hempcrete

Hempcrete
Hempcrete, aka hemp masonry, is primarily known for the exceptional thermal comfort it creates and its potential for carbon storage in buildings. A durable, renewable, bio-based material, it has been used for centuries. In the mid-1980s, when designers and builders in France were looking for compatible materials for restoring historically significant buildings post WWII, hempcrete underwent a resurgence and evolution. The material has modern appeal and is popular in Australia because it is energy-efficient and breathable, creating healthier indoor air quality; it manages moisture well in buildings; it’s fire- and termite-resistant; and it’s acoustically effective and user friendly.
