Historic value Hemp fibre has been used throughout history for durable applications such as, ropes, sails and clothing. Even today, ships still use hemp in sails and rigging around the world due to its strength and natural resistance to mildew and weathering. The hemp fibre used at Black Mountain Natuhemp is incredibly resilient, with an ability to buffer moisture, regulate thermal performance and retain its structural rigidity making hemp an ideal natural insulator. True sustainability Hemp fibre is a biodegradable, non-toxic fibre. The organic hemp fibres used at Black Mountain are derived from waste straw left at the end of the hemp seed harvest. Annually, the growth rate and versatility of this agricultural crop means that hemp insulation is truly sustainable and will flourish in diverse conditions. Hemp needs little water to grow and thus does not require artificial irrigation an important factor for many areas where water shortages regularly occur. Hemp is also a natural weed suppressor due to the speed at which the plant grows. It can be grown without the use of herbicides and other chemical pesticides a condition rare in agriculture today. Hemp is also used as a break crop between other crop rotations thus allowing the soil to regain the nutrients necessary to produce healthy cereal crops. Black Mountain hemp insulation has a 95% natural fibre content one of the highest available on the market today. This high natural content enables the product to achieve the maximum natural performance and provide the maximum benefit to the end user.
