Four years ago in Sélestat, a renovation project took root with the restoration of a timber-frame house. Today, the "Les Charmes" residence embodies the realisation of this vision. In their quest for an authentic yet modern restoration, the Alsatian couple chose to integrate 15 cm IsoHemp hemp blocks, recognising the numerous benefits of this material.
The choice of hemp blocks made perfect sense, aligning with the desire to preserve the traditional aesthetic while adding a touch of modernity and eco-responsibility. Hemp blocks provide natural thermal regulation, retaining heat in winter and coolness in summer, which is essential in the varied climate of Alsace. Their ability to regulate humidity also ensures a healthy and comfortable living environment, crucial for a timber-framed house that may be subject to moisture variations.
The use of these bio-sourced blocks has also provided superior acoustic insulation, allowing occupants to enjoy a peaceful haven away from external noise. The fire resistance of the blocks contributes to the safety of the structure, and the 100% natural nature of the material underscores the couple's environmental commitment.
The renovation of the "Les Charmes" residence with IsoHemp hemp blocks is a testament to living comfort, where tradition and innovation blend to create a sustainable and welcoming home, ready to withstand the test of time.
