The Hempcrete Book: Designing and building with hemp-lime (Paperback)

This book provides clear guidance through its photos, text and sketches on all aspects of building with this ‘deep green’ material and takes our early work forward into the mainstream. It is a must-have for anyone planning to build with hempcrete, whether in renovation or new build projects. The book contains lots of good advice and general good building practice... I would recommend this book to anyone working in the field of sustainable building. Any architect, designer, owner or builder thinking of building in hemp or using lime in their build should obtain this book before they start. Eco-friendly and sustainability issues are now a key element in the design process and the authors of this publication proudly affirm that Hempcrete buildings can provide affordable, healthy, energy-efficient and sustainable accommodation. They have a great knowledge of their favourite product, which they willingly share here with those eager to embrace this relatively new wonder product whose origins date to ancient times. Truly comprehensive and enormously helpful. I wish we’d had this guide when building our Hempcrete homes in Swindon! If you are interested in learning more about using living materials for construction and how to use hempcrete for your upcoming projects or tests, I encourage you to get this book today. It is by far, the most detailed version on the market and completely easy to understand.
