HempBuildMag.com presents the future of building materials: Industrial Hemp.
Used in Europe for 30 years, fast growing carbon-sequestering industrial hemp can be manufactured into insulation, wall assemblies, flooring and more to create all-natural non-toxic homes. Meet three successful hemp builders who have built homes around the world using simple, natural materials.
Takeaways
Building a hemp home can be cheaper than conventional construction, and will be fire resistant, mold-roof and pest-proof.
Non-toxic natural building materials such as hemp and lime are simple, long-lasting building solutions that moderate temperature and moisture.
