You can design, develop, build, and renovate sustainably and healthily with hemp blocks for both new constructions and renovations as used in this typical barn refurbishment, so offering numerous benefits to enhance any project.

The Hemp Block Company supplied products used included: 

Floor – Geocell and 80mm hemp blocks.
Walls – 80mm hemp blocks and 100mm wood fibre board.
Roof – experimental clay/hemp mix, sprayed and cork.
Various clay plasters were used for the walls and ceilings.

The blocks provide excellent natural insulation, ensuring year-round comfort while also reducing energy costs. Additionally, their breathable and moisture-regulating properties contribute to healthier indoor environments. Hemp blocks are free from harmful chemicals, fire-resistant, and deter pests, providing safety and durability for long-lasting structures.

Hemp blocks are lightweight and easy to install, simplifying the construction process and saving labour costs. With a carbon-negative footprint, they effectively combine sustainability with performance, making them an ideal choice for eco-conscious and high-quality building projects.
