People are developing sensitivities, or even allergies, to the carpets, walls, furnishings and other building and finishing materials found right inside their homes.
Hemp can be used to produce a wide variety of non-toxic and mold resistant building materials ranging from the foundations and walls of a home to the finishing touches. Hemp can be used as a base for paints and carpeting. And since Hemp is non-toxic and mold resistant, it’s a cut above the materials used in ordinary carpeting or paints all across America and abroad.
Hemp building materials lack the common allergen causing chemicals found in most modern-day building materials. By removing the bulk of these chemicals from our indoor environments and replacing them with a more sustainable, environmentally friendly building material, the quality of our indoor air will dramatically improve.
When Hemp is mixed with lime, it changes from an organic based material to a mineral. In this mineral state, hemp is often referred to as Hemp stone. When used as a foundation or as the walls for our interior spaces, the Hemp stone continues to cure for months and as it does so, it continues to improve indoor air quality by absorbing carbon in the living space.
If your respiratory system is suffering due to indoor air quality issues, check out Hemp as a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative!
