New Hampshire's cold winters, historic homes, and high energy costs make GaiaCrete® the perfect solution. Superior thermal mass, ice dam prevention, and breathable construction for New England's most demanding climate.
Cold New England winters with coastal and mountain exposure. New Hampshire's demanding climate needs insulation that retains heat, prevents ice dams, and breathes in historic homes.
GaiaCrete® stores heat and releases it slowly — maintaining comfort through extended cold periods. Unlike fiberglass, it performs better as temperatures drop.
Breathable hemp-lime construction prevents moisture buildup that causes ice dams, rot, and mold in conventional insulation.
Zero flame spread rating — GaiaCrete® chars rather than burns, producing no toxic smoke. Critical protection for your family.
Monolithic walls eliminate air gaps and resist wind penetration — essential for exposed, windy climates.
The alkaline lime binder creates a pH 12+ environment where mold, mildew, and bacteria cannot survive.
No off-gassing, no formaldehyde, no toxic chemicals. Breathe clean, healthy air all winter with windows sealed tight.
