Green

HyBlock is a carbon-negative building material manufactured using industrial hemp core-fiber and a specialty eco-cement as a binder. The industrial-hemp plant is grown without pesticides and has been used similar applications for thousands of years; our eco-binder is based on those used to build anscient projects like the great wall of China. HyBlock as a whole is completely non-toxic and bio-compatible.

A Sustainable Building System

HyBlock is a Load-bearing, Breathable, Bio-based Building System That Offers Maximum Comfort and Breathability for the Healthiest Home Environment. Plant Fibers Mixed With Cements Have Been Used As Building Materials in Europe for Over a Thousands Years.

A Healthy Building System

Breathable walls
Non-toxic ingredients
Solid, load-bearing building blocks
Excellent thermal performance
High thermal mass performance
Easily integrates passive solar

Natural Hemp-Fiber Blocks

Can be drilled, sawed, nailed or screwed Channels are routered for electrical and plumbing. Thin set mortar is applied with notched trowels. Finishes can include plaster, stucco, siding or brick veneer, etc.

High Thermal-Mass Capacity

Stores energy and releases it gradually. Integrates radiant heating and cooling. Easily integrates hot water solar. Homes remain cool in summer, warm in winter.

High Overall Performance

Fibers from chemical-free crops
Excellent thermal insulation
Excellent sound insulation
Fire-resistant
Resistant to rodents, termites, insects
Resistant to fungi, mold & mildew

High Hygrothermal Performance

Vapor permeable - Hygroscopic
(absorbs & desorbs moisture from the atmosphere)
Prevents condensation, mold & mildew
Freeze-thaw resistant
Water resistant
