For a far less irritating installation process
Hemp Insulation Batts
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
• Excellent thermal resistance value (R-value) of 3.7 per inch
• Hygrothermal behavior, a real competitive advantage in bio-based materials by its ability to retain and release moisture without loss of efficiency
Limits condensation. Less humidity = less daily heating
• More efficient phase shift (the greater the heat retention of the insulation is, the longer the phase shift time will be and the longer the room will kept cool. Insulation phase shift Nature fibres = 10 hours in 190 mm (7.5’’)
• Humidity management; hemp fibers have better resistance and a favorable behavior face to humidity
• Mechanical strength without sagging or settling during installation without thermal point between wood and steel frames
• Natural repellent for a habitat preserved from moths, termites, insects and rodents
• 100% natural plant fibers, non-allergenic and without VOC emissions
• Low energy of 30 kWh/m3 for a less harmful environment
• Reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs)
• Biobased material contributing significantly to the storage of atmospheric carbon(CO2) and to the sanitation of building
• Reduction of building’s environmental footprint
• Product life cycle analysis (LCA) available
• Recoverable, recyclable, compostable biobased material • Access to the Environmental Product Declaration (DEP) • For ecological and eco-responsible use
