Aurélien, owner of AOTEFOIS and passionate about old buildings, restores Norman timber-frame houses. For the renovation of a timber-frame house in Saint-Denis-le-Thiboult, he used our 9 cm IsoHemp blocks. Discover why our hemp blocks provide a perfectly adapted solution for this type of renovation.
Today, we share a renovation of a timber-frame house in Normandy, carried out by Aurélien. Owner of the Normandy-based company AOTEFOIS, Aurélien is dedicated to restoring the former beauty of buildings. To achieve this, he uses authentic materials and shows great respect for the history of the houses he renovates. For this project, Aurélien replaced the damaged wattle and daub with our 9 cm IsoHemp blocks.
Thanks to the lime-hemp blocks, this house has retained its old structure and charm during the renovation. Easy to implement, our hemp blocks have given this building a new lease of life for the next 100 years.
Hemp blocks are perfectly suited for the renovation of timber-framed houses as they are flexible and adapt to the timber-frame configuration.
Additionally, hemp blocks offer other benefits for this type of building: they can be used as infill between the timber frames and/or as cladding behind the frame to enhance insulation and airtightness similar to wattle and daub (historically used), hemp blocks also allow the wood to breathe they form the insulating envelope of the building and provide extraordinary living comfort.
