Hempcrete Thermal Home System Replaces – Drywall, insulation, exterior boarding, house wrap, siding, caulk and paint. Simple post and beam frame system that is easier to build and stronger than conventional stick frame. The thermal wall system lessens thermal bridging and other air infiltration because of its monolithic nature. It is used for a superior wall, floor and overhead installations. Creates a bio-based, more comfortable, less toxic, easier to heat, cool and maintain structure for home, work and play.

Building Professionals Speak the language- architects, engineers, planning dept., building department. Explain that the system is bio-based and used and tested extensively in overseas and some in America. Explain that the system is superior. And that most things stay the same. Same solid structure, same rough in specifics except minor changes. Explain using pictures or a sample wall system like we will make in our hands on workshops.
