Hemp Building Solutions

Hemp based building materials are on the forefront of green building and sustainable design.  Green materials are judged on their ability to provide the same, or better, technical performance as compared to traditional building materials, and, more importantly, their impact on the planet.  Hemp and lime based biocomposite insulation, known as “hempcrete”, can be produced sustainably from a highly renewable resource that sequesters carbon as it grows.  The resulting insulation is carbon negative, yet also has considerable thermal, acoustic and fire resistance properties. 

Our mission is to actively store carbon in the walls of our homes, and in doing so, to dramatically improve their energy efficiency in the process.  We are dedicated to the development of applications for hemp and lime materials that reach beyond their capacity for thermal and fire resistance.  At Americhanvre, we envision a future where hemp begins to bridge the gap between sustainability and affordability in our choice of building materials.

Americhanvre is also committed to being mindful of our impact on the environment, to support our local economy where possible, and to promote the growth and well being of our clients and employees.  By working openly with others in this industry, we hope to participate in accelerating the shift towards hemp materials and enlightened business practices for the betterment of the planet and of our fellow human beings.
