Free Form Expression with Sustainable Benefits

We offer valuable information for architects and designers unfamiliar with our healthy, renewable building materials. A little education goes a long way in understanding the outstanding benefits of these innovative materials and building systems.

Tradical® Hemcrete®can be used with wood frame, concrete, or steel framed standard residential construction to more modest self-builds.

Tradical® Hemcrete® is an insulation material that works in conjunction with a structural frame (normally timber) to provide a wall build system. Generally, this insulation is only used on the external envelope walls where the highest thermal insulation is needed. The thickness of the wall determines the design insulation value of the wall, with thicker walls providing better insulation values. Cured and dried Tradical® Hemcrete® is a vapor-permeable (Breathable) material that must pass moisture to the internal and external faces of the wall.

Our healthy building and environmentally friendly products can be used in a variety of applications.
