Hempcrete is a building product that ticks all the boxes and at Sowden Building Solutions. It is our choice for building material as it is an extremely sustainable way of building, creating a breathable wall system which is monolithic in structure. It has excellent thermal and acoustic properties, is termite and fire resistant and controls the humidity in your home preventing damp and mould - thus improving air quality.

We also wanted to address social sustainability issues to meet our needs as aging owners and also those of our daughter who has a disability. So we decided on a single-storey concept with environmental features such as hempcrete construction, passive heating and cooling, etc.
