Hempwood®

HempWood® is produced from combining hemp with a plant-based adhesive to create a substitute for wooden flooring.

Manufactured using hemp and a soya based adhesive to offer a timber substitute.

The Hemp is organically grown, offering a sustainable solution to deforestation. 20% harder than Oak, HempWood® has a carbon negative footprint and is free from any toxic VOCs.

The flooring product consists of a 4-mm HempWood veneer bonded to a 12-mm hardwood plywood manufactured by Columbia Forest Products, also made with NAF soy-based adhesive resin. It is available in four different tones; Natural, Taupe, Ice and Granite.

A cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was completed on HempWood® Natural Flooring in accordance with ISO 14040 / ISO 14044, and the study was reviewed for conformance with ISO 14044 and the PCRs. The product assessed was based on 2021 data from Fibonacci’s Murray, Kentucky, HempWood facility.
