Durability
Although Tradical® Hemcrete® is a relatively
recent material, its origins lie in the technology
of ancient buildings. The use of plant based
materials mixed with mineral binders such as
lime or clay go back thousands of years. We
know that the effects of the binder (high ph and
good capillarity/vapour permeability) create a
perfect environment in which to preserve the
hemp shiv. Consequently we have confidence in
anticipating a life-span of Hemcrete® buildings
measured in centuries.
