HEMCORE HEMP INSULATION
What is Hemp Insulation?
Hemp insulation is a technically superior, healthy and sustainable insulation product made from premium grade Hemcore fibres. Hemp insulation is very easy-to-use in roofs
(between joists and rafters), within the walls of timber frame houses, and internally in walls and floors where the exceptional acoustic properties of Hemp insulation are an important additional feature. The tough and resilient hemp fibres ensure that Hemp insulation is extremely durable and will perform effectively for the life of the building.
Why Use Hemp Insulation?
Efficient
Hemp fibre creates a naturally efficient thermal and acoustic insulation product for walls, floors and roofs. Hemp insulation is an energy saving product that helps to keep your house cosy and warm in winter and cool in summer.
Breathable
Importantly, Hemp insulation is able to absorb and release moisture helping to regulate internal moisture levels, which enhances human comfort and reduces the risk of condensation. This breathability is increasingly recognised by construction professionals as being an extremely useful function for maintaining a healthy and durable building.
Healthy and Sustainable
Hemp insulation is an environmentally sustainable and responsible alternative to conventional insulation, offering comparable or better thermal and acoustic performance with all the environmental benefits of a natural product. Hemp insulation locks-up carbon, it can be disposed off easily at the end of its life, and is non-toxic, non-irritant and healthy for you and your home.
Thermal Performance
Hemp insulation has a thermal conductivity of 0.039 W/mºK. This performance is similar to or better than other fibre based insulation products. Additionally the heat capacity of hemp insulation is more than double that of equivalent mineral fibre products – helping to enhance thermal comfort by reducing overheating in summer and by damping internal temperature fluctuations. The ability of hemp insulation to resist settlement, means that the installed thickness, and consequently thermal performance is maintained.
Acoustic Performance
The high density of Hemp insulation (>35kg/m3) combined with the sound damping properties of natural fibres results in superb acoustic performance. Tests on standard wall build-ups demonstrates that Hemp insulation helps builders surpass the sound performance requirements detailed in Approved Document E of the Building Regulations
Resistance to Fire
The fibres used for the production of Hemp insulation are treated with a simple non-reacting compound to achieve at least a Euroclass E fire performance rating. Consequently hemp insulation complies with the fire performance requirements of the Building Regulations and is ‘fire safe’.
Durability
Hemp is a naturally durable fibre. As hemp is based on cellulose, Hemp insulation does not attract rodents and nor does it provide a food source for moths or other insects.
How and Where to use Hemp Insulation
Where to use Hemp Insulation
Hemp insulation is ideal for use as thermal and acoustic insulation for new build as well as for renovation and for topping up the loft. It should be used in roofs, floors and walls. The semi-rigid characteristic of Hemp insulation makes it particularly quick and easy to install within walls of timber frame constructions.
How to use Hemp Insulation
Hemp insulation is easy to work with. No special tools are required. Simply cut with a sharp work knife or bread knife. Always cut on a flat surface and use a straight edge as a guide. Hemp insulation cuts easiest when compressed. Ensure that your insulation is firmly fitted between the joists or rafters with no gaps. Additional layers of insulation can be placed over the joists. Fit any cut edges together tightly and fill any odd-shaped spaces with off-cuts. Make sure that there are no gaps.
Health and Safety
The natural hemp fibres are completely harmless, so Hemp insulation is not irritating to the skin eyes or respiratory system. Hemp insulation is totally safe and healthy to install in your home.
