Vermont's environmental consciousness, cold climate, and historic homes align perfectly with GaiaCrete® hemp insulation. Carbon-negative, breathable, and built to last 100+ years.
Cold New England winters with high humidity. Vermont's environmental values and historic housing make GaiaCrete® a natural fit — breathable, sustainable, and superior thermal performance.
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.
