The Solid Hemp Brick ensures maximum regulatory compliance and environmental transparency:

✓ CAM Certification (Minimum Environmental Criteria) - Suitable for public procurement

✓ Biosafe Certification - Environmental healthiness, VOC emissions A+

✓ CE Marking - European regulatory compliance

✓ DOP (Declaration of Performance)

✓ ETA (European Technical Assessment)

✓ Fire resistance EI 180 - Certified by Istituto Giordano

✓ Environmental protocols: Maximum scores in ITACA and LEED

✓ Possible volumetric bonuses according to regional regulations

Is the Solid Hemp Block load-bearing?

No, the hemp-lime block is not a load-bearing structural element. It is designed for infill of load-bearing structures (wood, steel, reinforced concrete) and for thermal-acoustic insulation. The compressive strength of 0.60 N/mm² ensures stability for non-load-bearing walls, internal insulation, and vertical applications.

For framed buildings, the load-bearing structure is entrusted to the main construction system, while the hemp block serves as:

• Thermal insulation
• Acoustic insulation
• Hygrometric regulation
• Fire protection

What is the difference between a solid block and a hollow block (Canapafor)?

Solid Block:

• Available thicknesses: 5, 8, 12, 20 cm
• Ideal for infill of wood/steel structures
• Perfect for historical restoration and internal insulation
• Also used for creative applications (design, furniture)
• Density 350 kg/m³, λ 0.07 W/mK

Hollow Block (Canapafor):

• Interlocking geometry for quick installation
• Thickness: 40 cm
• Ideal for single-layer walls without external insulation
• Resolves vertical thermal bridges thanks to the perforations
• Faster installation on large construction sites
• Conductivity λ 0.09 W/mK

In summary: the solid block offers maximum flexibility in thickness, while the hollow block offers maximum efficiency for single-layer walls.

How is the Solid Hemp Block installed?

The installation of the solid block follows traditional masonry techniques, with some precautions:

Recommended mortar: Certified Hemp Mortar, natural hygro-regulator, Class M5
Joint thickness: 1-1.5 cm
Technique: staggered joint installation (English bond type)
Plaster: Hemp Plaster to uniform performance

Important:

• Protect blocks from humidity during storage
• Do not use traditional cement mortars (they block breathability)
• Respect drying times between work phases

Is the Hemp Block suitable for seismic zones?

Yes, but with appropriate design. The hemp block is light (350 kg/m³ vs 1,800 kg/m³ for traditional brick), reducing seismic masses and loads on the structure.

Advantages in seismic zones:

• Reduction of the building's self-weight
• Greater flexibility and ability to absorb vibrations
• Less damage in case of a seismic event (elastic material)

Attention: Design in seismic zones requires structural calculations by qualified professionals. The hemp block is an infill, while seismic resistance is guaranteed by the load-bearing structure (frame, X-Lam, reinforced shear walls).

Contact a qualified technician to evaluate the most suitable solution for your project.

Can I use the Hemp Block for design projects?

Absolutely yes! The solid hemp block is conquering the world of sustainable design for:

Creative applications:

• Table or floor lamps with hemp bases
• Table and coffee table legs
• Decorative partition elements
• Visible shelves and bookcases
• Frames and architectural inserts

Aesthetic advantages:

• Natural and warm texture
• Neutral coloring (beige/hazelnut)
• "Living" material that breathes
• Sustainability story to tell
