Tradical® construction materials are developed products of the Lhoist Group based on high purity manufactured lime materials. The Lhoist Group is an international business focussed on the supply of high purity lime products to many industries including the construction industry.

Tradical® Hemcrete® is a unique, highly sustainable construction product for the creation of insulating walls as well as insulation layers for floors and roofs. Hemcrete® is a blend of specially prepared hemp shiv (Tradical® HF) and a special lime based binder (Tradical® HB). Together these products form a bio-composite building material that can be used both for the creation of buildings that have excellent thermal and acoustic properties as well as creating a healthy living and working environment.

Additionally Tradical® Hemcrete® has the ability to make an impact on the future of sustainable building. Helping to reverse the damaging effects of greenhouse gases, Tradical® Hemcrete® locks up approximately 110kg of CO2 per m3 of wall and provides one of the best value materials for low impact, sustainable and commercially viable construction.

Produced mainly from renewable sources, Tradical® Hemcrete® is either mixed on site and placed by casting or spraying or can be mixed off site for pre-formed construction.  Tradical® Hemcrete® delivers high levels of insulation, air-tightness and vapour permeability, whilst also buffering temperature and humidity change.
