Choosing insulation is no longer just about achieving the lowest U-value. It’s about creating buildings that are comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient in every season.

Independent testing has shown that our hemp blocks have an improved thermal conductivity. In practical terms, this means better insulation from a thinner wall, using less material whilst resulting in lower overall cost. Yes…….Less really is now more!

In energy-efficient and breathable construction, the terms airtightness and windtightness membranes often come up — and understandably, they can be confused. While both contribute to the performance and longevity of the affected elements of a building, they serve each very different purposes and are used in different locations within the building envelope.

Discover what decrement delay is and how it affects your home’s comfort in summer. Learn why natural insulation materials like wood fibre and sheep’s wool perform better.
