Lime Technology, a GHA non developer member, supply this excellent product. Produced mainly from renewable sources, Tradical® Hemcrete® is mixed on site for fast track construction and delivers high levels of insulation, airtightness and vapour permeability. It is spray applied on site using a shuttering system to create walls.
Could this perhaps be the answer to upgrading the exisiting stock with solid brick walls? Hacking off plaster and applying 75mm direct to brickwork, could provide a cost effective, airtight and breathable solution - insulating internally is beset with mositure issues and insulating externally is expensive and planners are not keen.
Lime techncology are monitoring their HQ after refurbing it with Hemcrete. See www.limetechnology.co.uk for more info
