GaiaCrete® is the only insulation engineered to handle Texas extremes — 100°F+ summers, severe storms, Gulf Coast humidity, and wildfire risk.
Texas throws everything at your home — triple-digit heat, Gulf humidity, hailstorms, and wildfire smoke. GaiaCrete® handles all of it. South-Texas homeowners can start with our San Antonio hemp insulation guide.
GaiaCrete's thermal mass absorbs daytime heat and releases it slowly — cutting AC costs by 30-50% even in Texas's most brutal summers.
Houston and the Gulf Coast see 80%+ humidity. GaiaCrete® breathes and regulates moisture naturally. Mold can't grow at pH 12+.
Monolithic hempcrete walls resist wind and impact loads far better than frame-and-batt. If water intrudes, GaiaCrete® dries without mold.
West Texas and Hill Country face increasing wildfire threats. GaiaCrete® achieves a 4+ hour fire rating with zero chemical flame retardants.
Texas receives some of the highest UV exposure in the US. GaiaCrete® doesn't degrade from heat cycling like spray foam does over time.
Sealed Texas homes trap pollutants from off-gassing insulation. GaiaCrete® releases zero VOCs and absorbs CO2, improving indoor air quality.

GaiaCrete® installation available across the Lone Star State.
GaiaCrete® hemp insulation excels in Texas heat. Its thermal mass absorbs daytime heat and releases it slowly, reducing AC cycling by 30-50%. Unlike spray foam that traps heat, GaiaCrete® breathes and regulates temperature naturally — critical in 100°F+ Texas summers.
GaiaCrete® monolithic walls are significantly more impact-resistant than frame-and-batt construction. The lime-hemp matrix withstands hail, high winds, and tornado-adjacent conditions far better than conventional insulation that can be destroyed by water intrusion.
