About Hemp-Crete
In the UK lime
has been used as a binder in mortars and plasters since the
Romans brought the technology (roman cement) with hem 2000
years ago.
150 years ago
portland cement was considered a specialist material.
However advances in industrial processes and the demand for
faster building changed the market conditions and cement
became the primary binder for mortars. Portland cement
performs well in mass concrete and engineering structures,
but where flexibility and vapor permeability are required,
hydraulic limes produce superior mortars, plasters and
renders.
Hemp-Crete was
designed by Hemp core based in the U.K. the worlds leading
authority on lime and hemp based products.
