Hempline Insulation By Hemp Building Company

Eric Milburn had the opportunity to work on a home that used an innovative hemp-based insulation product. Hempline Insulation is a bio composite insulation that helps create high-performance, sustainable buildings by replacing all components in conventional walls, floors, and roofs! The insulation is composed of hemp hurd and limestone which helps create high-performance sustainable buildings. According to the company, Hemplime homes are carbon negative because the relatively small amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the creation of the materials is greatly outweighed by the CO2 that is absorbed by the material and locked away within the walls.

Always seeking sustainable solutions

Sustainable Design Build is always looking for new opportunities to utilize sustainable products and technologies in projects. This is why the team couldn’t be more proud of one of our members supporting this product. If you have the same passion and aspirations for a more sustainable solution, head on over to the Chamber of Commerce website to place a vote for Hempline Inuslation.
