Work on historic buildings or old masonry requires particular care. The choice of plaster cannot simply fall on generic cement-based products. For this reason, the TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia® System offers Natural Lime Plaster (ICN). This is a plaster based on NHL… Continue Reading…

Those designing with the TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia® System often have to choose between two complementary but different products: Bio Beton Pronto, a cast-in-place insulating material, and Malta e Canapa, the premixed mortar used to lay Biomattone® blocks. Before work starts, it… Continue Reading…

Biomattone® is the core product of the TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia® System: a hemp-lime masonry block that combines thermal insulation, thermal mass and vapour permeability in a single building element. Before choosing between infill walls, external insulation or internal insulation, it is… Continue Reading…
Roof Insulation • Sustainable Construction
August 25, 2026
In thermal and acoustic insulation work on roofs, walls and floors, the material filling the cavity has as much influence on final performance as the external layer build-up. Canafiber Intercapedine is the TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia® hemp-fibre solution designed specifically for this… Continue Reading…

La qualità dell’aria interna dipende in parte dalla capacità dei materiali da costruzione di gestire l’umidità prodotta quotidianamente da respirazione, cucina e attività domestiche. In questo campo, l’igroscopicità della canapa è una delle proprietà che rende i biocompositi in canapa… Continue Reading…
Lining Walls with Boards • Sustainable Construction
August 25, 2026
Energy upgrading of existing buildings often presents a practical problem: the external façade cannot always be insulated because of architectural restrictions, condominium rules or boundary-distance constraints. In these cases, an effective solution is an insulating internal lining wall. TecnoCanapa Bioedilizia®… Continue Reading…

Hygrothermal comfort is the state of well-being achieved when air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity and air movement remain balanced indoors. It does not depend on a single declared technical value, but on the overall behaviour of the building envelope… Continue Reading…
