Hemp and clay: hemp light clay LLS 200
Hemp light clay LLS 200 is a dry fill of hemp fibres and clay for impact sound insulation and sound protection in floor build-ups (λD = 0,071 W/(m·K)). It is suitable under cement screed, flowing screed, dry screed, flooring boards, timber floors and floorboards.
- made of hemp fibres and clay
- dry fill material without drying time
- easy to place by hand
- 10 bags = 1 m³, enough for approx. 7 m² at a fill height of 14 cm
The elongated hemp fiber, supported by the adhesive effect of the clay, interlocks under the pressure during installation as well as the (floating!) laid floor construction and thus forms a stable, jointless insulation volume.
Expanded clay - a jack-of-all-trades
Expanded clay consists of fired clay: ceramic beads with numerous enclosed air pores. In construction it is used as a cavity, dry and sound insulation fill, as a fill for wet screeds and bonded fills, and as a lightweight aggregate for clay and lime building materials.
Expanded clay combines low weight with high compressive strength. It is rot-proof, frost-resistant and non-combustible and can be reused without processing.
Bonded with clay (expanded clay light clay) or mixed with Saint-Astier NHL 5 into lime concrete (350 kg NHL 5 per m³ of expanded clay), it forms a bonded, non-trickling base for floor build-ups.
Kanop: hemp and lime to pour in
Kanop by IsoHemp is a ready-to-use loose-fill insulation made of hemp shiv and a lime-based mineral binder (λD 0,054 W/(m·K), bulk density 194 kg/m³). It is poured in by hand, without mixing and without a machine.
- Filling timber joist and intermediate floors
- Insulating the top floor ceiling under unconverted lofts
- Filling the voids under timber floorboards on cross battens
- Filling the areas around pipes and cables in the service layer on solid timber floors
- Big bag 1000 litres or bag 60 litres
Before installation, have the permissible load of the floor checked by a qualified professional: at a fill height of 140–240 mm, Kanop weighs 24–38 kg/m².
