The Hemp Block Company

Is living in a healthy home with no chemical off-gassing important to you? Are you concerned about the environmental cost of your building material choices? Would you like your home to clean up the atmosphere by capturing & locking up carbon? hempblock.co.uk #BuildBetter

Consumers should hear more about the negative health and environmental implications of an outdated construction model and be offered sustainable, healthier materials as standard hempblock.co.uk #Sustainability #Hempcrete #ClimateChange

How do hempcrete blocks promote a healthier home? Unlike conventional insulation materials, hempcrete does not contain volatile organic compounds which “off-gas” toxic chemicals in to the spaces where we live with our families. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability

Hempcrete blocks are toxin-free, impervious to mould and pests, highly fire-resistant and carbon negative. Yet hempcrete is still not used as standard in construction. WHY? hempblock.co.uk #Sustainability #Hempcrete #ClimateChange

In 2015, the cement industry generated around 2.8bn tonnes of CO2, equivalent to 8% of the global total and a greater share than any country other than China or the US. carbonbrief.org/qa-why-cemen… #Sustainability #Hempcrete #ClimateChange

Hempcrete blocks absorb more carbon from the atmosphere than the amount that's used in their production, making them a carbon negative material & a climate-friendly alternative to cavity wall construction, which generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide. hempblock.co.uk

Our hempcrete blocks require no specialist skills or equipment to use. They can be used in a variety of ways, from roof insulation to wall construction and flooring, and are made from 100% natural materials. #Hemp #Hempcrete #BuildBetter

A recent study in @pb_mag suggests 2021 could bring a an eco-friendly shift towards more sustainable construction. In 2020, Hemp insulation received a 132.98% increase in Google searches compared to 2019. probuildermag.co.uk/features… #RoofingMegastore #Hemp #BuildBetter

As well as having the backing and know-how of Europe’s leading manufacturer of hempcrete blocks our Technical Director William Stanwix has over 12 years of experience designing, building and manufacturing with hempcrete. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability

We have partnered with Senini, Europe’s leading manufacturer of hempcrete blocks, to produce high quality, affordable blocks that contain only hydrated lime and hemp shiv. Ours are the most natural hempcrete blocks available. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability

We are passionate about building with hempcrete for two simple reasons firstly, its huge environmental benefits and secondly its ability to wrap your home in a naturally insulating, breathable blanket. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange #BuildBetter

Because it grows quickly, using hemp building blocks in conjunction with a timber/steel frame, instead of cement blocks, could reduce pressure on forests worldwide and cut back on the estimated 15 billion trees cut down every year hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete

Construction consumes about 40% of the world’s global energy 25% of the water & 40% of its resources (UN Environment Program 2016). This consumption could be reduced if more mineral aggregates were replaced by plant aggregates. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability

Hemp fibre and seeds are ready to harvest in around two months, which makes this carbon negative, natural building material rapidly renewable too. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange #BuildBetter

The UK’s construction industry continues to use highly processed, synthetic & chemical-based materials, which create unhealthy homes that off-gas toxic chemicals & are prone to damp. Alternatives already exist. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange

With clear drive for change, why aren’t we looking at alternative construction materials? Here’s why we should be building hemp block houses. builder-master.co.uk/2021/05… #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange #BuildBetter

When you build with hemp blocks you capture more carbon than it takes to produce and transport them. They are the planet-saving alternative everyone should be building with. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange #BuildBetter

Architects and construction companies are aware of the significant health and environmental benefits of hempcrete, so why isn't everyone using it? hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange #BuildBetter

Hemp blocks are created when the hemp plant is broken up onto fine chips & mixed with a lime-based binder & water. It sets hard to become a highly effective, planet-friendly insulator for walls, floors, and roofs. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange

Natural hemp blocks help regulate internal humidity to stop condensation gathering on your walls. This prevents the formation of damp and mould spores & can help stop the spread of viral & bacterial infections. hempblock.co.uk #Hempcrete #Sustainability #ClimateChange
