Canhamor

Hempcrete is truly one of nature’s most astonishing building materials and Cânhamor is excited to be the first and only manufacturer in Portugal.

We are so much more than a “seed to block” supplier – we are committed to hand-holding you from the first ECOblock to the final build. Our experts will work closely with you, your architect, your builder and your site manager when you purchase our ECOblocks. We’ll be with you throughout the planning, design and build stages of your home to give you a high performing, greener, leaner living space.

ECOLOGICAL BUILDING MINIMUM FOOTPRINT

Our hempcrete is produced from high quality, carbon-capturing crops. So when you choose our ECOblocks you’ll be partnering with one of nature’s leading materials for an eco-friendly build and you’ll be creating a carbon negative, 100% natural and sustainable solution.

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIVING

The superior, self regulating thermal insulation properties of our ECOblocks mean that you benefit from significant heating and cooling efficiencies in both summer and winter months, saving you substantial energy costs for years to come.

HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIAL

Tested and certified, our ECOblocks are strong, light and long lasting. They boast excellence in thermal and acoustic insulation and feature superb fire resistant credentials. You can be assured that your project will be of a much higher quality than a conventional build.

HEALTHIER LIVING SPACES

Hempcrete’s vapour permeability characteristics help regulate humidity and act as a natural repellent. This helps create significantly healthier living environments, free from toxins, viruses, bacteria and mould-producing spores. 

LIVING LOCAL

From the very formation of our company, Cânhamor has been committed to full integration into the local community. Our motivation is to create a way of life based on contribution and collaboration with the people with whom we live and work.

We are working towards fully localising our production and supply-chain with the two-fold objective of becoming carbon negative and stimulating the local economy. By investing in the local resources and manpower, we are creating opportunities for families in sustainable living.
