Hemp Building WA

Hempcrete is a tried and tested building material that had been used throughout the world for centuries. It is a mixture of lime and hemp and is used as an insulating filling for masonry walls. The lime and Hemp combination together forms a structure that is:
- Fire-resistant
- Rodent-proof
- Termite/white ant proof (termites are a huge problem in Western Australia).
Hempcrete is not used as a structural material as such but when used on houses with timber or metal frames is creates a lot of strength and support within the structure. The insulation values of hempcrete are mind blowing. The recommended R rating for a house in Australia has been raised over the past year with traditional buildings not meeting the code having to use unsustainable resources to raise the levels of insulation.
R values on a finished hemp house walls and ceiling are triple that of the newly set Australian standards. In fact, hempcrete provides such brilliant insulation that air-conditioners could be made redundant and the savings you will see on your ever growing power bills will go down!
