Hemp insulation, natural insulation

ISO 9001 : 2008

CANABEST is certified by the Center of building industries in Prague.

• Proven material - Hemp is the oldest arable crop, our ancestors used to seal their timbered houses for centuries.
• Thermally effective - Thermally insulating qualities of hemp insulation reach the same values as standard insulants. The capacity of thermal accumulation is twice as high compared to mineral insulations.
• Moisture control - Hemp rope is able to absorb moisture and then release it - this is the greatest advantage of hemp insulation compared to other materials.
• Health - Thanks to high permeability and moisture conductivity, hemp rope keeps healthy home microclimate without proliferating germs, mould and other microbes causing allergies and other health problems. It does not contain any carcinogens or deleterious substances.
• Mould resistant - Hemp mats without fungicide teatment have been tested by the National health institution for the mould resistance with the following result:
  "Hemp insulation is mould resistant under the following conditions: test environment 18-23°C and 28-63% of relative moisture, monitored version with artificial contamination with moulds, placing of samples on glass trays without nutrients added during the whole period the experiment of 11 weeks." (RNDr. Klánová, National health institution Prague)

• Emphasis on the quality of living - It has got excellent acoustic and other features - it deadens noise, absorbs smells, repels insects and rodents
• Fire safety - Building test institution Prague has certified the composition of carrying wall with Farmacell plates and Canabest BASIC and PLUS insulation with a fire endurance of 45 min.
• Easy assembly - When mounting hemp insulation, you can work without protective apparel, it does not irritate airways, it does not itch nor scratches.
• Resistant - Produced from quality hemp ropes which prolong life of the insulation.
• Environment friendly - The production process is energatically undemanding and environment friendly.Hemp rope has got negative balance GWP (-0,377 kgCO2 ekv/kg) - consumption of CO2 at hemp growth is higher then air pollution from insulation production.
• World trend - Natural materials encounter rebirth, they provide healthy and natural environment
