Cold-Formed Steel + Hemp
The recyclable, precision frame that carries the structure — paired with hemp for a low-carbon envelope.
Cold-formed steel (CFS) is structural steel shaped at room temperature into light, precise framing members. It is the structural partner to hempcrete's insulating infill — together forming a building envelope that is fast to assemble and built to last.
Why cold-formed steel
- Recyclable: steel is among the most recycled materials on earth, supporting a circular build.
- Dimensionally stable: it will not warp, rot, or shrink — straight walls for decades.
- Non-combustible & pest-proof: resilient where it matters most.
- Fast & precise: components are pre-engineered and assemble quickly with a trained crew.
Better together
Pairing CFS framing with hempcrete infill gives you the best of both: the strength, speed, and recyclability of steel with the carbon storage, breathability, and comfort of hemp. The result is a resilient, lower-carbon home that a local workforce can build.
