Hemp Wool Insulation
Hemp wool insulation is a flexible, plant-based thermal insulation for timber-frame walls, roofs, floors and other building structures. Balticfloc offers hemp insulation products under the Thermo Hanf brand.
What is hemp insulation?
Hemp wool insulation is made from industrial hemp fibers combined with binder fibers to create flexible, durable insulation panels. Its fibrous structure traps air within many small pores, helping limit heat transfer through the building structure. In addition to its thermal insulation properties, hemp wool insulation offers:
- good water vapor permeability;
- high thermal storage capacity;
- good sound absorption.
How does hemp insulation affect the indoor microclimate?
Hemp wool insulation helps create a more comfortable indoor environment as conditions change throughout the year. Its natural fibers can absorb and release moisture, helping balance humidity within the building structure. Its high thermal storage capacity also helps slow temperature changes, so indoor spaces are less affected by rapid shifts in outdoor conditions.
The benefits extend beyond temperature and moisture. The dense fiber structure absorbs sound and helps limit noise transmission through insulated walls, creating quieter and more comfortable living spaces.
