Hemp Blocks for Naturally Efficient Masonry
IsoHemp hemp blocks are innovative, non-load-bearing masonry units designed to create healthy and natural insulating walls, partition walls, and counter-partitions. These versatile blocks are favored by professionals for a variety of projects, including new constructions and renovations, whether they are single-family homes, multi-family buildings, or commercial spaces.
IsoHemp hemp blocks are installed similarly to traditional masonry, using a thin 3 mm layer of IsoHemp adhesive mortar that facilitates quick and easy application. Despite their large size, these lightweight blocks simplify on-site handling and installation. For detailed guidance on using IsoHemp hemp blocks, refer to our implementation guide or join one of our training sessions.
5 major advantages of the hemp block for your project
Thermal regulation
The hemp block naturally regulates the temperature of the building thanks to its excellent ability to diffuse the accumulated heat. This high inertia insulating block protects:
cold in winter by keeping the heat in the house longer
hot in summer by avoiding overheating of the habitat.
As a real thermal buffer, it maintains a constant indoor temperature and significantly reduces the impact of heat variations between day and night.
Humidity regulation
Thanks to its high permeability to water vapour, the hemp block acts as a water buffer and offer a constant and healthy indoor climate for the occupants. The relative humidity level is thus stabilised (from 50% to 55%). Its uses:
Renovation and insulation of old buildings, old brick or damp walls
Interior renovation to insulate walls on which wooden floors are resting, prevent any condensation issues in the transition areas between materials to guarantee the excellent conservation of the building
Humidity regulation in commercial projects where humidity variations are high: archive rooms, museums, sports halls, swimming pools ...
Acoustic Insulation
Whether IsoHemp hemp blocks are used for your walls or interior partitions, external and ambient noise will be significantly reduced. In terms of sound insulation, the hemp block acts as a real sound trap and helps to dampen the majority of sound waves, protecting you from noise pollution.
Protection and fire resistance
The IsoHemp hemp block complies with current standards and provides a simple and effective solution to your site problems, both for industrial or collective buildings (nurseries, schools...) and residential homes. With an excellent reaction to fire class B-s1 d0), it offers up to more than 2 hours of fire resistance depending on the finish and thickness of the block used.
A 100% natural solution:
The hemp block meets the strictest requirements of sustainable development: it is manufactured according to a very low energy-consuming process, using 100% natural materials (limestone and hemp) that are sourced locally. A very positive carbon footprint, since a pallet of IsoHemp hemp blocks stores 100kg of CO².
