Me too. Here are just some of the benefits of building with HempCrete.

• Environmentally more friendly with less use of petrochemicals.
• Low maintenance.
• Exceptionally quiet from exterior and interior noise.
• Cost effective.
• Potential carbon-neutral construction.
• Aesthetically pleasing with other materials (stone, wood, tile).
• Plaster invented in B.C. creates a waterproof, breathable shell around the house.
• Thermal mass assists temperature control in low and high temperatures.
• Insect and rat resistant.
• Fireproof and earthquake resistant.
• Pozzolonic vs Hydroscopic.
• Scalable cost – on par with or less per square foot than a wood frame house.
