The symbiosis of the oldest plant cultivated by mankind (hemp) with one of the oldest and most tried-and-testet building materials (natural lime) is the building material of the future.
For almost 60 years we have been engaged in the production of building blocks and prefabricated elements,
industrially but also individually produced.
For the last 10 years we have concentrated on the production of hemp bricks, working a lot on the value chain and complementary products such as hemp plasters and special mixtures of hemp concrete.
The production is located in South Tyrol, close to the Austrian and Swiss borders.
Using HEMP as a building material.
WHY?
Circular economy that is second to none!
The two materials are pressed to form a brick using a cold air process.
The hemp plant grows approx. 50 times faster than wood; biomass sufficient for a small single-family house
will grow in only five months on one hectare of land.
The connection of loose hemp shives with natural limestone and minerals make the material as hard as stone and resistant to external influences, meaning that buildings will stand for many generations, saving the the environment and money.
Excellent thermal properties make additional insulation such as polystyrene unnecessary.
Hemp-lime has similar properties to clay regard to air purification and moisture regulation,
ensuring a healthy living environment and clean air.
The cycle binds more CO² than it releases, actively saving the environment.
According to EN 15804 calculations, hemp stone stores about 90 % more CO² than is released during production, resulting in a balance sheet total of minus 90 %.
