Thermo Hemp
December 30, 2008
Thermo Hemp, made by Ecological Building Systems, is a mat & roll form of insulation made from 100 percent hemp. It is pollutant-free, has a high thermal resistance, and good acoustic dampening properties. It is completely safe to install and manufacture, offers outstanding fire protection, and contains no chemical additives.
Coming in mats or rolls, it can be used for a wide variety of insulation applications and can be installed in roofs, walls, and floors.
As hemp grows, it helps to restrict environmental pollution because it decomposes COz. Uniquely, it also improves the ground soil as it leaves the ground loose and totally weed free. Because hemp matures to a height of 4m within 100-120 days, weeds have no chance to grow so no herbicides or pesticides are necessary during cultivation.
