Author: Lucie Garabasova
Ecological, effective, and natural. That’s exactly what hemp insulation is—gaining popularity not only among fans of sustainable construction but also among professional builders. Read on to find out why you should consider it too.
Why choose hemp as an insulation material?
In recent years, hemp has come to the forefront as an exceptional natural material. And it’s no surprise – it has excellent insulating properties, is fully renewable, and is environmentally and health-friendly.
The main benefits of hemp insulation include:
- Excellent thermal insulation – keeps warmth in during winter and coolness in summer
- Great sound insulation – absorbs noise better than many synthetic materials
- High vapor permeability – allows buildings to "breathe" and prevents mold formation
- Resistance to pests and mold – naturally repels insects
- Easy recyclability – doesn’t burden nature after its lifespan
- Safe handling – does not irritate skin or respiratory system during installation
Uses of hemp insulation
Hemp insulation is most commonly used in the construction or renovation of family houses, timber structures, and low-energy buildings. It’s suitable for:
- Wall insulation (both exterior and interior)
- Floors and ceilings
- Roofs and attics
- Filling frame constructions
- Acoustic insulation of partitions
Thanks to its properties, it is also suitable for passive houses and healthy, chemical-free building.
A natural path to modern living
Hemp insulation isn’t just functional—it’s also an ethical choice for those who want to build with respect for the planet. It is made from industrial hemp, grown locally without unnecessary chemicals. If you’re looking for insulation that is eco-friendly, efficient, and safe for your health, hemp is a great choice.
