When applying hemp insulation, unlike non-living nature products – stone and glass wool – it is not necessary to use any kind of work protection aids. With hemp wool, you can work securely with bare hands and thereby save money on not having to buy gloves, glasses, respirators, and overalls.
To cut the hemp battens, we recommend using knives for bread with a long and wave-cut blade. Common knives are less effective.
It is better to cut the hemp rugs 2-3 cm bigger than the space being insulated to avoid format detachment from the bounded area and creating heat bridges on the periphery.
When insulating ceilings and between the rafters in the buildings, we recommend using a wire underpinning, or to wicker an intercepting grate. You avoid unwanted insulation sagging that way.
For application of the vertical insulation – spaces between the walls, interior insulation on the building’s periphery – it is better to use wire supporting fortification, weave if necessary.
