Hemp Goes to the Construction Site to Build –Hempcrete Foundation

Hempcrete is another building material which is made from hemp. The hemp plants wooden core is often referred to as “shiv”.  This shiv is mixed with water and a lime binder which creates a biocomposite material.  The water and lime binder undergo a chemical reaction that causes it to become cement-like.  It is different from cement because it is lightweight and with insulation qualities.

Unlike cement, however, it is weak, too weak to support load-bearing walls. This makes it impossible to use in house building to replace cement but it can be utilized in other ways in the home.

Hempcrete qualities include:

• Lightweight, breathable;
• Carbon negative and non-toxic;
• Durable;
• Resistant to water, fire, insects. 

Hempcrete Qualities

Hemp’s strong and durable fibers may be superior to steel in regard to weight but its overall strength is less, so it simply has utility but not total replacement value.  Even with its limitations, humans have found important uses for hempcrete through the ages including possibly used in the building of the pyramids. It does have the ability to petrify over time so eventually the strength is substantial. Hempcrete can also survive well in harsh weather. Additional research shows the examination of the French bridge from the sixth century AD, researchers discovered hempcrete proving that it is durable over time.

When the different elements are added to the hemp, the binder, the binder coats the particles so they stick making it lightweight but a stronger consistency. When a manufacturer makes the hempcrete, he can alter the ingredient’s proportion so that the moisture absorbent qualities, the thermal quality and the structural quality varies.

Even though hemp may not have all the construction supplies needed to build an entire house, any part of it will help to leave a smaller footprint and be better for the environment. We’ve talked about hempcrete and hemp wood but hemp is often used to make the plastic for the pipes.

Hemp plaster is often used to do finish work inside as well as paint made with hemp oil. We know that the hemp fiber is used for a great many things like rope, etc but it can all be used to make hemp carpet.

“All Points of View”

Never underestimate hemp and the multitude of ways to use it in our every day lives. It is durable most of all in whatever form you find it in. Sailors like rope and canvas made from hemp because it withstands the salty sea water. Hemp fabric is best for lasting a long time and being UV protectant and best for the healing of wounds.  Then there is hemp wood that saves a lot of trees and never wears out whether it is on your floor or in your walls. Hemp is the best all the way around.
