Thanks for this! Do you know of any info on doing hempcrete floor insulation on top of a concrete ground-level floor? I am trying to learn what type of buildup is the most sensible. I understand that the hempcrete might need some type of insulating and draining layer (e.g. glass foam) to keep the hempcrete up from the concrete, to prevent rot due to condensation.
I made a pretty awesome year around greenhouse out of hempcrete in central oregon, , where it gets down to 15-20 F on occasion in the winter. It has been awesome. I also ran vent tube in sort of a radiator pattern thru my north facing wall that is 16" of hemp, my exhaust fan pulls the heat thru the main wall, then into my garden beds. Helps maintain stable temps very well.
What I’m curious about is how it was “finished”. Or IS this the finish? Does it get plastered? Tiled? Was this just for insulation and they’ll put a wood layer over it?
I agree, we felt a CEB machine slightly adjusted might work and less expensive than the two companies that make the hempcrete block manufacturing lines for the companies in Europe currently making hempcrete bricks. Prices for setting those lines run 8 to 10M, not including land, ect. Lets us know how it turned out.
Of course great product/brick. Last anyone heard they were looking for investors to scale up. Scaling up hempcrete brick manufacturing is hard and very specialized. Biosys now marketed as hempBlock is made by Vieille Materiaux who contracted another French company to build the highly automated form, stack and dry system. As I understand it they still use a binder called Promt from Vicat. Its a natural cement. As an aside Damian Baumer of Ereazy fame sold/licensed the brick design to Vieille Materiaux. I think IsoHemp used them too. The Italians at Tecnocanapa may have an italian setup although it looks similar.
@@hempknowlogy That's amazing news, I'm glad to see that hemp is finally catching on as a viable building material here in North America. I haven't really seen many companies that are taking up the torch though. I've had several conversations with Just Bio Fiber, who say they are within 6-12 months of production. I myself would really like to use those bricks to complete a project of 10 duplex homes.
some people place value on hand made organic methods made with love - and sensitive people will feel that warmth when they enter the room. The american way is opposite , if thats what you want go build a lifeless sick plasticised world. She looks like a very healthy woman in body and mind - i bet she outlives you :)

it could be tomettes (a french tile) or a limecrete screed. I'll translate some other videos showing this
Would love to press some of this material at lower psi in the Hydraform Compressed Earth Block machine we have..... hmmm.

Your Channel is very informative. Have you ever checked out Just Bio Fiber out of Alberta Canada?
