Hemp Insulation Materials

Hemp fiber insulation materials, like other natural fiber-based insulation materials, offer excellent parameters in terms of thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and safety requirements. In this regard, they are fully comparable to commonly available insulation materials. However, they also retain their unique natural properties, which sets them apart from the competition and elevates them to a much higher level.

Why Hemp Fiber Insulation?

Hemp is one of the oldest cultivated plants. Our ancestors used it to insulate their homes hundreds of years ago.

Hemp insulation offers the same thermal insulation values as conventional insulation materials (thermal conductivity = 0.040 W/(m.K)).

The thermal accumulation capacity of hemp is twice as high compared to mineral insulations! (C = 1.600 J/(K.kg)).

Hemp fibers have a unique ability to absorb and release moisture – this is the greatest benefit of this insulation. Compared to other materials, hemp insulation helps create a healthy indoor climate without bacteria, mold, or other harmful allergens due to its permeability.

Hemp insulation is ideal for diffusion-open constructions due to its ability to accumulate both heat and moisture.

High diffusion openness (moisture is easily transferred and ventilated) and the ability to redistribute moisture (moisture remains uniform throughout the insulation) are the main reasons hemp insulation retains its shape even in damp environments, without degradation, and does not lose its insulating properties even at 20% humidity.

No protective gear or respirators are needed when working with hemp materials. Hemp insulation has a pleasant smell, and nothing irritates your throat or skin while handling it.

Hemp insulation can be used in attics, ceilings, floors, and on both interior and exterior walls.

The production of hemp insulation requires minimal energy, making it environmentally friendly.

Natural materials are making a strong comeback in our interest, bringing sustainable and healthy building solutions.

Uses and Benefits of Hemp Insulation

Universal hemp insulation, with its high capacity for thermal and moisture accumulation, is an ideal material for diffusion-open constructions. It is widely used in roof structures, ceilings, floors, and both interior and exterior walls.

• When applying hemp insulation, unlike products made from non-living nature such as stone and glass wool, there is no need to use any protective work conditions.

• With hemp insulation, you can safely work with your bare hands, saving on gloves, goggles, respirators, and coveralls.
