Hemp Insulation Outperforms Fibreglass And Stores Carbon While It Does It

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:00]Your insulation can't breathe. Hemp insulation can. That matters more than you think. Most homes use fiberglass, glass fibers pressed into [music] bats.

[00:00:09]It works, but it doesn't breathe.

[00:00:11]Moisture gets trapped. That means mold.

[00:00:14]Hemp insulation comes from the fibrous stalk of the hemp plant. It breathes absorbing and releasing moisture, [music] keeping walls dry. Thermal performance comparable to fiberglass. In some tests, better. Excellent acoustic insulation, too. A quieter home comes with it.

[00:00:31]Fiberglass releases microfibers during installation, irritating to skin and lungs.

[00:00:36]>> [music] >> Hemp insulation is non-toxic. No protective gear required to install it.

[00:00:41]Now, here's the part the industry hasn't caught up with.

[00:00:44]>> [music] >> Hemp sequesters carbon as it grows. That carbon stays locked in your walls.

[00:00:49]Fiberglass [snorts] has a carbon cost. Hemp has a carbon [music] credit. It doesn't sag or degrade. It lasts the life of the building. The material grows. The technology exists. The industry is catching up. If that shift is something like the video, >> [music] >> whole hemp, the whole picture.
