Part 5/8:
Hempitecture's flagship product, HempWool, exemplifies this shift. Unlike traditional insulations—fiberglass, ROCKWOOL, cellulose—HempWool is crafted from processed hemp fibers combined with a binder and fire retardant. It avoids many downsides of synthetics: toxic off-gassing, environmental toxicity during manufacturing, and health issues for installers.
HempWool offers multiple advantages:
Safety & Comfort: It’s safe to touch without protective gear, non-itchy, and free from irritating chemicals.
Resistance: Naturally antifungal, antimicrobial, and pest resistance makes it durable and hygienic.
Environmental Benefits: It stores carbon within the plant's stalk, thus actively helping reduce atmospheric carbon levels.
