Hemp is one of the fastest growing crops and purifies the air by converting large amounts of CO2 as it grows. The raw material hemp is a versatile and renewable crop. Hemp grows to a height of almost 4 metres in 100 to 120 days and grows on all types of soil. Weeds are thus given no chance and weed control is not necessary. Hemp concrete is a natural building product par excellence. It absorbs CO2 for the lifetime of the building.

The use of hemp straw, water and lime creates a mix that has excellent thermal and acoustic properties. It buffers temperature and humidity, prevents mould growth and turns the building into a comfortable, healthy environment. It is fire and pest resistant, lightweight and forms a rigid wall that is vapour permeable to prevent excessive humidity and condensation. Mixed with BATICHANVRE or TRADÉCO it creates an insulating mortar with excellent properties.
