Hemp Hurds

Application

Hempcrete’s unique thermal mass and acoustic properties make it an ideal solution for:

• Exterior Walls: Creates a monolithic, airtight thermal envelope that regulates indoor temperatures year-round.
• Ceilings & Attics: Provides lightweight, breathable insulation that prevents heat loss while managing moisture levels.
• Insulative Floors: Acts as a solid, slab-like insulation layer that provides a warm underfoot feel and eliminates drafts.
• Interior Partitions: Naturally dampens sound between rooms, creating a quiet, peaceful living environment.
• Heritage Retrofits: The "gold standard" for historic preservation; its high vapor permeability protects ancient timber frames from rot and decay.

Benefits

• Superior hygroscopic potential (moisture regulation)
• Superior thermal phase shift (ability to slow down heat transfer)
• Exceptional stability of the R-value in extreme climatic conditions
• Mechanical stability without sagging or settling
• Contributes to green building credits such as LEED for environmental impact, ingredients, and emissions
