Insulate Your Home with HempWool
The Inflation Reduction Act has been a hot topic in recent years, as many people are curious about the potential benefits it could bring to various industries, including construction. One area where the act could have a significant impact is in the use of insulation materials. Being "the" HempWool manufacturer in the United States, we wanted to share a little more information on the Inflation Reduction Act; what we know so far, the process of getting incentives, and how our healthy materials are a good fit for your home and for these programs.
What is HempWool insulation?

HempWool® is a plant-based healthy building insulation product. Manufactured with renewable energy, U.S.-grown hemp fiber, and innovative technology, HempWool® is a high-performing, truly sustainable material. HempWool is appropriate for anywhere in a structure’s thermal envelope, including walls, floors, ceilings, attics, and partition walls. It is a one-to-one replacement for conventional insulation materials like fiberglass, mineral wool, and spray foam.

HempWool® is the only USDA BIo-Based certified insulation material on the market in the United States. Made of 90% natural fiber (industrial hemp), HempWool has no VOCs and toxins making it a safe alternative to traditional insulation. It is a natural fiber insulation that is safe to handle, easy to install, and has excellent thermal performance. HempWool insulation is also naturally resistant to pests, mold, and mildew, making it an ideal choice for people with allergies or sensitivities.
Basic PPE measures should always be used on a job site, but with HempWool, users can have peace of mind that they're not harming their bodies or those residing in the building.
How does the Inflation Reduction Act impact HempWool insulation?
The Inflation Reduction Act aims to reduce the cost of construction materials and promote energy efficiency in buildings. As a sustainable and energy-efficient insulation material, HempWool insulation could be an excellent choice for builders looking to take advantage of the incentives offered by the act. These incentives may include tax credits, rebates, and other financial incentives that can help offset the cost of using HempWool insulation.
