Free online webinar by our members UK Hempcrete. Hempcrete is a composite material made from wet-mixing hemp shiv with a lime binder, and this ‘hemp-lime’ provides a natural, vapour-permeable, airtight insulation material which also has thermal mass, giving it a uniquely effective thermal performance.
Hempcrete has the ability to form itself around any shape before setting and supporting its own weight, and is the ideal material for upgrading the thermal performance of older traditional or historic buildings. It is particularly suitable for repairing timber frame infill panels, or adding insulation to solid masonry walls. It works in harmony with the original building fabric in traditional buildings to prevent moisture from becoming trapped in the wall.
The webinar includes the use of hempcrete and biobased materials for internal and external insulation (IWI & EWI), and solid & suspended floors.
