BENEFITS AND CAPABILITIES
Economic
Tradical® Hemp Lime products are low energy
building products. Construction costs can be
lower than for current traditional building
materials. The products are lightweight, low
density and this allows greater effi ciency
in transportation and handling as well
as requiring shallower foundations thus
saving cost. The hardened product ductility
characteristics mean that costly movement
joints may be avoided.
The enhanced insulation characteristics of
hemp lime products can deliver lower running
costs through reduced heating and cooling
requirements. The vapour permeability
of the hemp lime products also means a
reduction in the requirements for forced
ventilation and de-humidification through
the use of air-conditioning installations. The
inherent durability of the lime binders means
that the buildings will require less ongoing
maintenance making them cheaper to own.
