When people hear hemp, they usually think of narcotics. But cannabis, one of the oldest useful plants in the world, can also be used in other ways. Due to their high protein content, hemp seeds and oils are playing an increasingly important role in nutrition, while the flowers are used in medicine. Hemp fibers, which were used thousands of years ago to make ropes, cables and canvas, are still being used today to produce fabrics.      <\/p>\n\n<p>The fibers, which are among the strongest plant fibers in the world, can also be found in cellulose, paper and natural fiber-reinforced plastics. Hemp is also increasingly being used as a building material: The fibers are processed into insulating materials, hemp straw and wood in turn into hemp bricks, also known as hempcrete or hemp lime. &#8220;You can cover all areas of life with hemp,&#8221; says Werner Sch\u00f6nthaler, who has been focusing on the production of hemp blocks for 15 years.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ist-hanf-ein-nachhaltiger-baustoff\"><strong>Is hemp a sustainable building material?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Hemp is a particularly sustainable building material for several reasons. Firstly, it is a renewable, fast-growing resource. Depending on the variety and conditions, hemp can grow up to five centimetres a day and reach up to four, sometimes six, meters in height. &#8220;The biomass required for a detached house can grow on one hectare within five months,&#8221; says Sch\u00f6nthaler. Secondly, hemp requires hardly any fertilizer or pesticides and can be grown up to 1,900 metres above sea level. &#8220;This means it is available regionally and could contribute to Europe&#8217;s self-sufficiency in times of resource scarcity,&#8221; the hemp building block expert is convinced.       <\/p>\n\n<p>Another plus point is the fact that hemp binds carbon during growth and only a small amount of energy is required to produce the building materials. &#8220;This means it is CO2-negative,&#8221; says Sch\u00f6nthaler. Last but not least, hemp building materials are very durable, 100 percent recyclable and energy-efficient. &#8220;Their thermal insulation value is high and makes additional insulation superfluous. With a 38-centimetre-thick wall made of hemp blocks, you can achieve a U-value of 0.18. With 44-centimetre-thick hemp blocks, you can build a passive house,&#8221; explains Sch\u00f6nthaler. Due to its high storage mass, it also has a temperature-regulating effect &#8211; thus reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Hanfbau-2ClarissaK_09.23&#xA9;NussbaumerPhotography-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hemp as a building material, sustainable building materials\" class=\"wp-image-33496\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Almost too beautiful to hide &#8211; hemp bricks score points not only for their building biology effect but also for their feel. Photo: \u00a9NussbaumerPhotography <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welche-vorteile-hat-hanf-als-baustoff\"><strong>What are the advantages of hemp as a building material?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Apart from the ecological benefits, hemp scores points in other ways too: it regulates moisture and, as mentioned, temperature, is open to diffusion and, thanks to its high pH value, is resistant to rot and mold and therefore good for the indoor climate. The fact that it is sound-insulating and flame-retardant are two further plus points. Sch\u00f6nthaler mentions yet another: &#8220;The monolithic construction method without insulation &#8211; a hemp wall consists only of hemp, lime, minerals and sand &#8211; is not only 100 percent recyclable, but also reduces the risk of building defects.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gut-fur-sanierungen\"><strong>Good for renovations<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Hemp is not only a promising sustainable building material for new buildings, but also for renovations. As hemp blocks are lighter than concrete, they are considered to have great potential for adding storeys to buildings and for loft conversions. The same also applies when it comes to the internal insulation of existing buildings. &#8220;With conventional insulation materials, you need a vapor barrier. With hemp, this is not necessary due to its capillary-active properties,&#8221; explains Sch\u00f6nthaler.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hat-hanf-als-baustoff-auch-nachteile\"><strong>Does hemp also have disadvantages as a building material?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>&#8220;Hemp building blocks can only bear limited loads. You can&#8217;t build load-bearing walls with them without a wooden skeleton. Caution is also required on the building site: Hemp building materials, which incidentally are approved in Austria, must be protected from water so that they do not soak in. Another disadvantage is the price, as building materials made from hemp are up to 15 percent more expensive than conventional materials, depending on their intended use. &#8220;But you shouldn&#8217;t forget one thing: Conventional insulating materials, for example, are cheaper to buy. But if you add the costs for disposal, hemp-based materials are cheaper in the end,&#8221; Sch\u00f6nthaler is convinced.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Hemp as a building material, sustainable building materials\" class=\"wp-image-33497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-830x623.jpg 830w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Holzriegelbauweise_Credit-hanfstein.eu_-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hemp as a building material: Without a timber frame, it is not possible to build a load-bearing wall with hemp blocks.  <br\/>Photo: Hanfstein_eu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unser-experte\"><strong>Our expert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"654\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-654x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Werner Sch&#xF6;nthaler is Managing Director of Sch&#xF6;nthaler Bausteinwerk GmbH and Baustoffhandel GmbH in Eyrs, South Tyrol.  \" class=\"wp-image-33501\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.638680412371134;width:340px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-654x1024.jpg 654w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-768x1203.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-scaled.jpg 981w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-1308x2048.jpg 1308w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-830x1300.jpg 830w, https:\/\/myhome.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Wenrer-Schoenthaler_Credit_hanfstein.eu_-1200x1879.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Werner Sch\u00f6nthaler is the managing director of Sch\u00f6nthaler Bausteinwerk GmbH and Baustoffhandel GmbH in Eyrs, South Tyrol.
