    Hemp-Lime & Insulation

    Breathable, resilient insulation from a renewable source.

    Hempcrete, also known as hemp-lime, is a bio-based insulation and wall material made from the woody core of industrial hemp combined with a lime binder. It is vapor-permeable and hygroscopic, and is used in both new construction and deep-energy retrofits.

    The Gaia Building Systems family includes GaiaCrete — a proprietary hempcrete / hemp-lime building-material alternative engineered for healthier, more resilient construction. Additional product information is released as technical documentation is finalized.

    • Hempcrete insulation
      Bio-based, vapor-permeable insulation that buffers moisture within the assembly.
    • Fire performance
      Class A flame spread results (ASTM E84) describe surface burning characteristics, not an hourly assembly rating.
    • Long service life
      Published hemp-lime lifecycle research has cited service-life assumptions of more than 100 years for properly designed, protected, and maintained assemblies.
