Why choose the hemp block with the Metal System ?
IsoHemp's Metal System combines the lightness and robustness of metal structures with the insulating performance of hemp blocks.
This combination creates a homogeneous, durable, and breathable envelope, suitable for all types of buildings.
Whether for industrial or residential structures, this system guarantees optimal thermal and acoustic insulation, while offering quick, durable, and environmentally friendly construction.
The advantages of hemp blocks in a metal structure.
- Homogeneous and insulating envelope: Ensures continuous and high-performance insulation around the metal structure.
- Thermal and acoustic improvement: Significantly enhances the building's thermal and acoustic comfort.
- Fire protection: Increased fire resistance, up to 4 hours for 30 cm blocks.
- Lightweight and quick construction: Lightness of materials, flexibility, and rapid installation.
- Economic solution: Achieve savings thanks to quick implementation and high performance.
The technical performances of the hemp block in the Metal System.
Hemp blocks ensure excellent thermal regulation thanks to their ability to absorb and diffuse heat. This helps maintain a constant indoor temperature, limiting variations due to external conditions.
Key technical data :
-
Lambda value (λ): 0.071 W/mK
-
Thermal resistance (R): up to 5.37 m²K/W for 36 cm blocks.
-
Thermal phase shift: up to 23.6 hours for 36 cm blocks, reducing the impact of temperature variations.
Thanks to their permeability to water vapour, hemp blocks naturally regulate humidity, creating a healthy and consistent indoor environment.
Key technical data :
-
Water vapour resistance factor (μ): 2.8.
-
Equivalent diffusion thickness Sd: up to 1 m for a 36 cm block, promoting wall breathability.
Hemp blocks offer remarkable acoustic insulation, effectively absorbing and attenuating noise, for a quieter indoor environment protected from sound pollution.
Key technical data :
-
Acoustic absorption (α): Coefficient of 0.85 (high sound absorption).
-
Acoustic attenuation (Rw): up to 44 dB for a 36 cm block, significantly reducing external noise.
Hemp blocks are highly fire-resistant, emit no toxic fumes, and offer increased safety in case of fire.
Key technical data :
-
Fire resistance: from 240 minutes for blocks of 30 cm or more to 45 minutes for 7.5 cm blocks.
-
Fire reaction class: B, S1, d0. The hemp block does not emit toxic fumes or flaming droplets.
Hemp blocks are the epitome of a sustainable solution, combining remarkable longevity with a reduced environmental footprint. This bio-based material ensures reliable and environmentally friendly construction.
Key technical data :
-
Bio-based and low-carbon material: Hemp is a renewable resource that helps reduce CO₂ emissions during construction.
-
Exceptional lifespan: Thanks to their robustness, hemp blocks maintain their performance for decades without needing replacement.
