6.5 Building blocks/mortar for construction (shives)

Hemp shives can be mixed with lime mortar and made into non-structural building blocks or prefabricated panels. The material is suitable for internal walls and can also be used for external walls if finished with, for example, lime plaster. The material has thermal and sound-insulating properties, fire class B resistance (fire-resistant for 2 hours or more) and moisture-regulating properties. Its high thermal capacity makes it particularly suitable for low-temperature heating (heat pump).
