Naturally super insulated Hemp homes are revolutionising modern construction in Australia and the VHA are doing their bit to increase awareness in Victoria.

With rising energy costs combined with the establishment of large scale raw material processors, hemp homes are poised to totally transform the way we build residential and commercial buildings in Australia.

The unique make-up of the fast growing sustainable hemp stalk, full of 1000’s of tiny air pockets creates a fantastic insulating building material and when mixed with the lime based binder the hemp wall becomes fire resistant, termite, pest and mould resistant and breathable.

Awareness is quickly growing among health professionals on how important breathable materials are in modern buildings. Breathable essentially means vapour permeable, which allows the walls help regulate humidity inside the structure, creating a very comfortable living environment and, most importantly, eliminating moisture that otherwise would support mould growth.

When thinking about a new home or transforming an existing home the VHA can help point you in the right direction towards a very comfortable sustainable hemp home.
