Introduction to Tradical® |
BENEFITS AND CAPABILITIES
Design
The adaptability of Tradical® Hemp Lime
products permits architects and their clients
to have free reign on their imaginations for
building layout and design. The products can
be used with any structural framing system
to provide the support for the insulating wall
form of Tradical® Hemcrete® in new build
and extension applications. The detailing is
straightforward and air-tightness, crucial
to economic, legislative and environmental
performance, is readily achieved due to the
nature of the Hemcrete®.
The lightweight nature of the wall form and
insulation products means fewer supports and
lighter foundations, saving cost and time. The
most common structural frame is a timber
frame and the vapour permeable Hemcrete®
provides a dry environment for the timber such
that untreated timber can be used.
Tradical® products also have synergy with other
building materials including compressed earth
blocks as well as more advanced lightweight
thermal insulation aircrete blocks. Tradical®
products are also available for renovation
and improvement works providing increased
insulation to existing buildings.
