CANAPAMAS: Massetto premiscelato in canapa e calce.

CANAPAMAS is a natural, ecological pre-mixed conglomerate for screeds, made from natural lime and crushed hemp wood. It combines insulation with thermal mass, soundproofing, moisture regulation, and low environmental impact.

Application

Suitable for all construction conditions — new build, renovation, remediation and restoration. Used for thermal, acoustic and dehumidifying insulation on roofs, attics and all types of screed (flat roofs and ground floors).

Applied in thicknesses from 6 to 30 cm. Lightweight, flexible, breathable and compatible with current technologies. Ideal for improving existing floor slabs.

Available densities:

  • 300 kg/m³ — non-walkable screeds
  • 385 kg/m³ — non-walkable screeds

Installation

No special surface preparation required, though removing debris and dampening the surface is recommended. Mix in a planetary mixer with clean water for 5–6 minutes until homogeneous.

Apply manually using guides for correct alignment, distribute evenly, compress and level with an aluminium screed. Wait a minimum of 40 days before laying the floor (at an average temperature of 22°C).
