HempStone’s Hempcrete Trainings are back, and are now better than ever!

This summer, consider joining HempStone at the forest edge of South Hadley and dive into the world of radically responsible architecture. We hope to see you there!

Been dreaming of hempcrete insulation, but are not sure where to turn to? We’re here to help!

This nascent industry can feel a little challenging to access, but the situation is improving. Hempcrete installers typically are willing to travel some distance to install their material in your structure. Advance planning and coordination goes a long way to make this carbon-beneficial material a reality for you!

For those new to hempcrete, there are some compelling reasons to consider this biocomposite over other construction materials and methods.

Hempcrete is a high-performance construction material that gives occupants a healthy, beautiful, and comfortable environment.

Although hempcrete shares some characteristics to modern concrete (commonly referred to as a portland cement binder with stone aggregate), there are important differences that make hempcrete such a valuable and interesting bio-based building material.

It’s fall, and construction continues on the 1st hempcrete house in Massachusetts. HempStone was asked to showcase this home for the US Hemp Building Summit, to serve as this years’ premiere example of a healthy, carbon-beneficial single-family home in the US. Join us for an 11 minute on-site immersion into radical responsibility.

Hempcrete Frequently Asked Questions: A HempStone Primer into this natural, resilient, carbon-beneficial material.

Join Alex Sparrow of UK Hempcrete and Tom Rossmassler of HempStone for an introduction to a natural, carbon-beneficial building material. Hempcrete is a bio-composite walling and insulation material that has captured the attention of the construction industry in the US to address embodied carbon in buildings. Alex has been working with Hempcrete for over a decade in the UK, and co-authored The Hempcrete Book: Designing and building with hemp-lime.

As a nascent industry, hempcrete is still building a supply chain. US builders naturally want to use US-grown hemp. There’s just a little hiccup - the supply chains are still being developed and refined. This creates a challenge, and an opportunity, to use local materials. We share our step-by-step process of making building materials from local CBD stalk.

I’ve been weighing the nomenclature used for a hemp and lime-based binder, a biocomposite mixed mass, commonly known as hempcrete. I’ve been evaluating the term against hemp-lime. After much consideration, I’ve embraced the term hempcrete. Here’s why….
