Hempcrete Fire Resistant Home Theory by Scotty

Will Hempcrete Save the Day for all future homes located in Fire Prone areas? Yes I believe its possible with Hempcrete and I can't wait to test my theory out!

 Watch this video how this hempcrete wall sample stands up to a blow torch and you tell me: Do you think a hempcrete home like Scotty designed stand up to a forest fire?




Just like the video shows a layer of fire-resistant covering I believe will enable a home to survive a forest fire as long as windows and doors were shuttered.  This is Scotty's theory that has not been tested yet.
Theory: Hempcrete exterior wall covering is fire resistant for forest fire prone areas
Scottys Theory: Hempcrete Exterior Covering adds Fire-Resistant Properties to a home


For added protection if I lived in a Forest Fire Zone similar to what happens in the Western States every year and is currently ravaging the Lake Berryessa California Area: The Wragg Fire, burning on the southern end of Lake Berryessa, Calif., flared up again Tuesday afternoon, burning an additional 150 acres. July 28, 2015.  I would also add Hempcrete to the Roof of the Building such as this design.

Scottys Theory: Hempcrete Roof adds Fire-Resistant Properties

I have been in contact with a Home Builder and Building Supply Store in Northern Arizona who also believes that we can build a Fire Resistant Home!

Will Hempcrete Save the Day for all future homes located in Fire Prone areas?  Stay Tuned.  I will soon be testing this theory out and submit my findings to Building Industry Personnel- with testing data that either proves or dis-proves my theory.



Trendsetting Energy Efficient and Low Lumber requirement Home Designs by Scotty, will they be Fire Resistant and stand up to a raging forest fire?  I hope so for the sake of everyone who lives in a fire prone area.

Disruptive Investors Wanted

Snippets of info contained in the MOhemp startup business plan for investors.

The Green Building MOhemp Construction Crew will utilize the products made by the company to build new and renovate existing buildings for energy efficiency and creature comforts.

It would beneficial for the company to have a display home or building that utilizes the company made hemp products.  Showcasing how great the product is and the wide variety of uses.  (In addition to a company store.)
This will also give the company a building to test for real life energy stats, fire resistance demonstrations, advertising, product building demonstrated, community relations, and more. (see Impact Resistant Wall Structure Videos soon to be released)

The building products showcased: Hemp Hurds and Fibers will be used as Natural Sustainable and VOC free insulation.
  
  • Europe and other countries have been utilizing the hemp plant for a few years now, advertised using the Timber Frame construction techniques.

  • For New Construction: Hempcrete can be adapted into the different types of construction used today.

  • Standard Framing such as the home in South Carolina, deemed America's first Hempcrete Home.

  • I compare the European Timber Frame Construction techniques to American Post Frame building technology.



  • MOhemp Building Products will also be available for purchase in the company store, online website ordering, and through building suppliers/lumber yards.
