Far from being merely a gateway to artificial paradises, hemp (Latin name cannabis<\/em>) is a plant with near-magical properties, whose many uses date back to ancient times. It was used to make ropes and sails in Marseille, especially along the famous Canebi\u00e8re<\/em>\u2014a name that literally means \u201cplace where hemp is grown.\u201d Before being replaced by wood pulp, it was used to produce paper\u2014like the very first Gutenberg Bible. More recently, Levi Strauss designed his first pair of jeans using fabric \u201cfrom N\u00eemes\u201d\u2014that is, made from hemp.<\/p>

The plant is also beloved by fans of healthy eating. Legend has it that Buddha survived for three years on a single hemp seed per day. Thanks to its high omega-3 content, hemp seeds and oil help balance essential fatty acids and prevent cardiovascular disease. The seeds are often added to various food products (muffins, dips), while the oil is perfect for healthy salad dressings. But hemp is also an excellent building material\u2014ecological and creative in equal measure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When combined with lime, ch\u00e8nevotte<\/em> (the woody, non-fibrous part of the hemp plant) creates a kind of pis\u00e9<\/em> (a filler material) used in the construction of walls, floor slabs, and faux finishes. It\u2019s an ecological material, first because hemp farming is less harmful to the environment than many other crops, and second because it requires no pesticides and has a yield four times greater than that of trees. It\u2019s also a higher-performance material, thanks to its rich silica content, which gives it excellent thermal insulation properties.<\/p>

Beyond that, it\u2019s a creative material. \u201cSince it\u2019s a filler material, you can play with both shapes and finishes, which offers total freedom of design,\u201d explains Gabriel Gauthier, founder of Artcan<\/a>, a Shefford-based company specializing in hemp house construction<\/a>. Using a plywood formwork technique, walls, floors, or ceilings can be molded into all kinds of shapes. Spraying the material onto prepped walls also opens up a wide range of creative finishes, from rough rustic textures to marble-smooth surfaces. \u201cThere are up to 50 different textures possible with hemp,\u201d confirms Gabriel Gauthier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUntil recently, hemp construction remained a largely artisanal activity that required a lot of manual labor. To avoid sky-high costs, most enthusiasts were therefore self-taught DIY builders. \u201cI\u2019ve got a very motivated clientele\u2014people who not only come to train and get their hands dirty, but also bring friends along to help!\u201d says Gabriel Gauthier. Now, to make this material more accessible, Artcan is offering turnkey services at still-affordable prices. So, it’s now possible to extend your home using hemp\u2014or at least give one of your rooms a beautifully creative finish!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
