Publisher Description A comprehensive practical manual for professionals and self-builders, this innovative book explains the many benefits of building with hempcrete.Hempcrete is a building material with excellent, environmentally friendly properties. Its made from lime and hemp shivs (a waste product from hemp fibre growing) and can be used for walks, floor and roof insulation. Hempcrete is breathable, absorbing and emitting moisture; this helps regulate internal humidity, avoiding trapped moisture and mould growth, and creating healthier buildings. It provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation, and it is lightweight, which reduces construction costs.Whether youre working on a new build or are planning a renovation, The Hempcrete Book tells you everything you need to know to get started with hempcrete. It describes how to source and mix it, and provides a detailed account of construction techniques, highlighting potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. With fully illustrated design notes and examples of completed builds, this book is a powerful tool for any eco-builder. Author Biography Alex Sparrow works for one of only a handful of companies working with hempcrete in the UK and the only one to work with self-builders.
