Insulation, blocks, boards and plaster made from the woody core of the hemp stalk. It insulates, it breathes, and it holds carbon in the wall.

Everything on Hemp'in is put up by the company that makes it, and none of the building suppliers have opened a page. That is the honest state of it — we would rather show you an empty rail than stock it with samples.
