At Gro Enterprises, we are committed to offering innovative, sustainable building materials that meet the unique needs of the Gulf South. Our products, crafted from industrial hemp, provide superior durability, energy efficiency, and environmental benefits compared to traditional materials.
Hemplime Insulation
Our hemplime insulation represents a significant advancement in construction technology. Unlike conventional fiberglass insulation, hemplime is naturally mold-resistant and highly resistant to moisture. If it gets wet, there’s no need to remove and replace all the material; it can be dried, patched, and repaired as necessary, much like plaster. Over time, hemplime insulation maintains its form and hardens, enhancing its durability. Additionally, the lime binder used in hemplime has a historical precedent in Louisiana construction dating back to the 1800s, proving its effectiveness and resilience over centuries.
We manufacture our hempline insulation right in our hometown of New Orleans, bringing more jobs to our community.
Key Benefits of Hemplime Insulation:
- Mold Resistance: Naturally resistant to mold, reducing health risks and maintenance costs.
- Moisture Resistance: Withstands moisture without degrading, offering easy repair and maintenance.
- Carbon Sequestration: Absorbs CO2 during growth and curing, making it carbon-negative over its lifecycle.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy costs by up to 47% over the first 12 months, significantly lowering the energy burden on low and moderate-income families.
- Historical Provenance: Utilizes lime binder, a material with a long history of successful use in Louisiana.
Hemp Wood Flooring
Our hemp wood flooring is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional hardwood flooring. Hemp wood offers the same aesthetic appeal as traditional hardwood but with the added benefits of sustainability and resilience. It is durable, attractive, and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal choice for various applications. We work with the best manufacturers to offer our clients highly sustainable flooring options.
Key Benefits of Hemp Wood Flooring:
- Durability: Strong and long-lasting, suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Sustainability: Made from rapidly renewable hemp, reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional hardwood.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a natural, beautiful look similar to traditional hardwood flooring.
Hempcrete Products
Hempcrete, a versatile and sustainable material, can be used in various applications, from new builds to retrofitting existing structures. Its adaptability makes it suitable for different climates and building designs. Our hempcrete products include:
- Insulation Precast Hemp Blocks
- Hemp-Based Batt Insulation
- Prefab Hemp Insulated Wall Panels
Benefits of Hempcrete:
Hempcrete contributes to better indoor air quality by reducing the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants. Its natural components are non-toxic and do not off-gas harmful chemicals, promoting a healthier living environment.
These products are ideal for any residential or commercial construction project, providing superior thermal insulation, high thermal mass, and moisture regulation.
Sustainability Commitment
Hemp is a fast-growing, renewable resource that sequesters carbon dioxide during its growth. The lime binder also absorbs CO2 during curing, making the material carbon-negative over its lifecycle. Hempcrete offers superior thermal insulation, high thermal mass, and moisture regulation compared to conventional materials. Our products work together to maintain stable indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling, and prevent condensation and mold growth, enhancing occupant comfort and building longevity.
