Line 2 of 4 · Bioconstruction

Bioconstruction.

Hempwood, hempcrete and more. Bio-based materials made from industrial hemp: insulating walls of hemp and lime, masonry-format blocks, dense hemp boards and fibre insulation. They store carbon, manage moisture and resist mould and pests.

Hempcrete

The woody core of the hemp stalk (hurd, or shiv) mixed with a lime-based binder. Cast or sprayed around a structural frame, or supplied precast, it forms an insulating, vapour-open wall that is finished with lime plaster or render.

Quote Hempcrete

Typical options across our partner network — confirmed per RFQ.
Composition	Hemp hurd bound with a lime-based binder
Formats	Cast-in-place mix, spray-applied mix, precast panels
Role	Non-load-bearing insulating infill around a structural frame
Finishes	Lime plaster or lime render, vapour-open
Supply	Binder and hurd by the pallet, or precast units per project

Hemp-lime blocks

Hempcrete pressed and cured into masonry-format blocks. They are laid with a lime mortar or adhesive, install without formwork or drying time on site, and give a consistent density course after course.

Quote Hemp-lime blocks

Typical options across our partner network — confirmed per RFQ.
Block faces	Typically 12 × 24 in; other modules per factory
Thickness	4 in to 12 in, project-dependent
Laying	Lime mortar or thin-bed adhesive; non-load-bearing infill
Finish	Lime plaster, render or clay plaster

Hempwood

Hemp fibre compressed with a bio-based binder into a dense, hardwood-like board. It machines like wood and goes into flooring, millwork, furniture parts and trim.

Quote Hempwood

Typical options across our partner network — confirmed per RFQ.
Material	Compressed hemp fibre with a bio-based binder
Formats	Flooring planks, boards, dimension blanks, millwork stock
Finish	Unfinished or factory-finished
Uses	Floors, stair parts, trim, furniture and casework components

Hemp fibre insulation

Hemp fibre made into flexible batts and rolls for walls, roofs and floors, and as acoustic infill in partitions. It friction-fits between framing like other batts and handles moisture well.

Quote Hemp fibre insulation

Typical options across our partner network — confirmed per RFQ.
Format	Batts and rolls
Thickness	2 in to 8 in
Widths	To suit 16 in and 24 in on-centre framing
Uses	Walls, roofs, floors and acoustic infill in partitions

Why build with hemp

Carbon, breath, fire and pests.

The carbon story
Hemp takes up carbon dioxide as it grows, in a single season. Lime binders reabsorb some CO₂ as they cure. The result is a wall that stores carbon for the life of the building.
Breathable walls
Hemp-lime is vapour-open and hygroscopic: it buffers indoor humidity and lets moisture move out of the wall instead of trapping it.
Fire resistance
Lime-bound hemp resists fire well. Ratings depend on the tested assembly, so we source to the assembly your design team and code official accept.
Mould and pests
Lime's alkalinity discourages mould, and hemp hurd offers nothing for rodents or insects to eat.

Also on this BOM

Ship it together.

Hemp-lime construction appears as an appendix in recent editions of the International Residential Code. Adoption varies by jurisdiction, so check with your building department early; we supply the product data your designer needs.

Complete the project

Nearshored

Made closer to your site.

Wherever this line can be made in Mexico or Latin America, that's where we start: days by truck, USMCA for qualifying goods, factories in your time zone, and White Lion handling the border. Where Asia is the better source, we say so.

How the process works

Send the BOM. We’ll find the factory.

Drawings, a takeoff, a spec sheet or a rough list of quantities — any of it is enough to start. We sign an NDA before detailed project discussion and reply with questions, sourcing options and a delivery plan.
