Hempcrete is an easy material to use however it is very important to fully understand its attributes when designing and detailing the building in order to achieve a successful project. Our FAQ guide is a great place to start learning more about hempcrete.
Key details such as the plinth, the timber frame, the eaves and the finishes can greatly affect how easy the hempcrete is to install, and more importantly how well it works when the building is in use. Before you embark on your hempcrete project, we would recommend a consultancy session at design stage.
