The best way to describe this product is to call it a non-toxic replacement for cement, lumber, sheetrock, plaster, insulation and acoustic tiles. Isochanvre uses natural lime and water for binding agents. It can be used as cement and poured directly onto soil. Unlike cement, it is very flexible and doesn't crack. The metal wire netting that is used to give cement suppleness is too rigid for Isochanvre and would cause it to crack.
Cement is toxic, hard and breakable.
Isochanvre worked with lime is supple, water-resistant, and seven times lighter than concrete. It can be poured directly onto an existing floor to raise the level, repair and insulate. Moulded walls can be poured in framing. For a rough finish, wood forms can be used. For a finer surface, smooth or plastic casings should be used.
