Hemp insulation is an incredibly durable, high performance, natural thermal insulation material that offers a number of unique benefits to building inhabitants.

Hemp fibres have been used throughout history for durable applications such as ropes and clothing due to its robust nature and resistance to corrosion. These benefits make hemp insulation batts an ideal insulator with a guaranteed longevity often exceeding the life of the building.

Hemp insulation also acts as a natural moisture buffer which helps to regulate condensation levels without causing any deterioration to thermal efficiency. This reduces the risk of damp and mould and also conditions timber frames by drawing out excess moisture from the wood.

Natural insulations such as hemp insulation also allow buildings to breathe which helps to prevent structural damage and potentially serious health issues as a result of poor air circulation.

Hemp fibres are dense and naturally resistant to slumping which makes Black Mountain hemp insulation ideal for vertical applications such as partitioning walls and roof insulation. Hemp insulation batts will retain their structure and thermal performance throughout the life of the building unlike other man-made insulations.

Hemp fibres will lock away up to two tonnes of CO₂ for every tonne of hemp harvested. Black Mountain hemp insulation batts lock up more CO₂ than is emitted during production, acting as a carbon sink and has an overall positive impact on our environment.
