This is the nation’s first residential home to be sprayed with the Ereasy Hempcrete System by Hempitecture and Americhanvre. This home is the second spray applied structure in the entire country outside of Hempitecture’s home base in Ketcham, Idaho. The team took approximately five days to spray install 1,100 cubic feet of material with four men for three days and only three for the final two days.

The client framed and built the home prior to our arrival and had installed magnesium oxide board on the interior surface of the walls as permanent formwork to which the hempcrete could be applied. Americhanvre supplied the project with Kanabat building grade hurd and an Ereasy Spray Applied Hempcrete unit purchased from Hempitecture, the distributor for Ereasy in the U.S., earlier in the year.

We were able to successfully demonstrate the process for spray application of hempcrete for a residential home, proving the method to be dramatically faster and less labor intensive than traditional cast in-situ hempcrete.
