Shalco

Shalco Hempcrete, sustainable thermal solutions for restoration and new build projects. One step towards saving our planet.

Shalco (Sustainable Hemp And Lime Construction Company) is a family run business. Passionate about beautiful buildings that breathe and create a warm and healthy environment to live in. Hempcrete is composed of hemp shiv (woody core of the hemp plant) mixed with a wet lime binder. It can be used around a structural frame to create a single skin wall (no cavity) that offers great insulation as well

as thermal mass. Hempcrete is a fantastic substrate on which to plaster. It gives added rigidity to your timber frame whilst remaining flexible, therefore not susceptible to cracking. Also wraps your timbers away from rodents, wood boring insects and is fire retardant. On top of all of that, Hempcrete is natural, breathable, and is sustainable - it has a carbon rating better than carbon neutral! Shalco spray apply Hempcrete making it efficient. Spray applied Hempcrete is great for restoration projects where recesses are not uniform shapes and can be hard to insulate with fleeces or board materials.
