Hempcrete blocks, walls & floor · Hungary

An Eco-Builder’s Toy - Insulating My Own Cabin with Hempcrete

This one is mine. A timber outhouse in Hungary, and a chance to try IsoHemp hempcrete blocks on every surface without a client waiting.

The blocks went down on the floor first, adhered and levelled, then up the walls as internal wall insulation to the timber structure, and were also used to build the internal walls themselves. They were cut around the window and worked into the roof-to-wall junction, which is where most insulation gives up.

Is your house like this one?

If you want to know whether a material works, the honest test is whether the builder uses it on his own building.
